“Blessed\u00a0is every one that\u00a0feareth\u00a0the\u00a0LORD;\u00a0that\u00a0walketh\u00a0in his\u00a0ways. For thou shalt\u00a0eat\u00a0the labour\u00a0of thine\u00a0hands:\u00a0happy\u00a0shalt thou be, and it shall be\u00a0well\u00a0with thee. Thy\u00a0wife\u00a0shall be as a fruitful\u00a0vine\u00a0by the\u00a0sides\u00a0of thine house: thy children like olive plants\u00a0round\u00a0about\u00a0thy\u00a0table. Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the\u00a0LORD… Yea, thou shalt see\u00a0thy\u00a0children’s\u00a0children<\/strong>…” (<\/em>Psalm 128, excerpts)<\/p>\n

Here are some of the best rewards <\/strong>for all our years of diapers, bandaging, feeding, car-seat buckling, chauffeuring, school planning and teaching, paper-correcting, arbitrating, Dr.-Seuss-reading, shoe-finding, potty-training, and general exhaustion.\u00a0Grandchildren! Seven and counting! We finally got a picture when everyone <\/em>was awake and happy!<\/p>\n

What a joy to hear them talking about Jesus and singing the psalms already!<\/p>\n

Don’t give up! Stay faithful, pray for strength and wisdom, and point your children to Jesus! It is oh-so-worth-it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
