I only have 3 kids (so far... we are hoping to adopt soon and I could have as many as the Lord wanted me to have). I even get this statement and what I have finally started to say: " I'd rather have them full than empty" I like your response as well. It simply makes them speechless usually or a quick ya sure that is a good way to think of it!

Thank you. I'm one of nine child...Beautiful post. Thank you. I'm one of nine children and am so grateful my mom's heart was full enough to have every one of us! We didn't have fancy clothes or get to do every single extra-curricular thing there, but we had a whole lot of love for eachother. I can't count the number of times people would say, "I wish I was in your family." <BR/><BR/>I heard a great quote once, "If you live how they won't, you can live how they can't." <BR/><BR/>All the best to your and your children.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01677953607599406624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22579547.post-1142539214373700202006-03-16T13:00:00.000-07:002006-03-16T13:00:00.000-07:00i soooo know what you mean about the comments...i ...i soooo know what you mean about the comments...i came from a home of only 2 children..me and my brother. Now that i'm a mom to 3.5 kids (the oldest lives with us part of the time) when i have all of them, people are like, "how do you handle it"...and i think to the adage that God gives us what we can handle. He didn't give THEM all these kids because they couldn't have handled it...He blessed me with them because we can not just handle them, but LOVE them all. <BR/><BR/>We're adoptive parents of all 4 and couldn't be happier.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01296558743353138844noreply@blogger.com
