Week One

   


                                                                          

   This week I'm going to be discussing a few fun topics. One of them will be how birth rates are decreasing and how that affects the world. As most people know back in the 90s it was very popular to have five or more children. In these days people have one to two children and that's it. Their reasoning for choosing to have less children is because they think it's too expensive, they can't financially support their family, or they just simply don't want to. We know as sons and daughters of God it is our sacred duty to procreate and replenish the earth. I think people are forgetting this, even members of the church. We will be blessed for having a family, they are with us for eternity and i'm so grateful for the knowledge I have of eternal families. Economically we need to be having more children for the well being of the stability of the world. The next generations will be the ones to take care of us. They will be paying taxes so we can be supported. If everyone stops having children, their will be no one to take care of us. On the right is a picture of me and my husband. We can't wait to one day have children and be a family for time and all eternity. We are so blessed to be able to have children. It has always been a dream of mine to have children and I couldn't imagine being told I can't have them. I would be heartbroken. We should not be taking having children for granted.  It is such a sacred gift God gave to us. We need to use it with grace. Children in these days are more likely to be born into single parent homes. Children need to be in a home with a mother and a father. They need that stability in their life. They need their mom to love and nurture them. And they need their dad to teach them basic life skills and to provide for them. It it shown that children do better in their adult years if they grew up with a mother and a father. I grew up with a mother and a father in a stable and loving home. My parents loved me, my siblings, and each other. My mom and dad both had very different roles they played. My mom stayed home and watched us kids. She cleaned, cooked, and made sure we were happy. My dad went out and worked a different way, providing and income so we could get food and have a nice house to live in. Now my parents also worked together. While we were young if my mom was cleaning at night, my dad would bath us kids or other way around. My dad was always willing to help and I think this is so important in a relationship. It shouldn't always be the mother does this list of things and the father does the other things. They should work as at a team where needed. I will be encouraging this in my own marriage and I have seen first hand how happy my parents have been in their marriage when they work together to make their home a warm and loving one. I hope this week I was able to give you a little bit of my insights on the family structure. Please know that everyone is a child of God and everyone is loved no matter what choices they may make in their lives concerning how they decided to have a family. Thanks so much for reading and I will see you back here next week for another fun topic!

  1. I’m excited to follow along and hear your thoughts on these topics. One thing I love about your thoughts is the last portion, we are all children of God, and each family is different, and each couple will Do whatever they feel is best for their families, though it may be different from someone else’s. I have loved cherished every second I was able to stay home, and though that’s not for everyone, I never took it for granted and felt extremely blessed. I know you and & your hubby will be amazing as you work together to create your family in the future ❤️
