His Abiding Love
• Sep. 2, 2009 - Too many babies?
Well, the Duggars are expecting number 19. Praise God! Of course all you read online is negative and hateful comments, mean and nasty things. Sadly, even other 'Christians' think that the Duggars just 'take their religion too far' and are 'overdoing it' etc. Many Christians make ugly jokes and comments about Mrs. Duggar and refer to their family in a derogatory manner.
This should not be. If we are truly Christians, should we not see children as the blessing the Lord says they are? Should we not believe that the Lord knows what He is doing when he gives someone a child? Do we not trust the Lord to provide for and care for that child?
Or do we make ugly and vile comments? Do we say mean and hurtful things to others about their large family? Do we make worldly jokes about getting 'fixed' or 'getting snipped' or 'knowing what casues that' etc?
I really hope that you don't. I hope that you thank the Lord for every baby and every family. I hope that you believe God knows how to plan a family and that He alone opens and closes the womb.
I hope that if you have made a thoughtless or insensitive comment to a mom over her pregnancy or a dad upon announcing his wife's pregnancy, that you will go and apologize to them.
I told my dh this when we began getting hurtful comments after we announced our 5th: "The only correct response to a pregnancy announcement is 'Congratulations. Even if you are not happy, even if you don't *feel* happy, smile big and say 'Congrats!'. No one wants to hear anything else. '
My children will be writing a lovely Congratulations card for Mrs. Duggar and family tomorrow for an art project. I figure she's getting enough hate email, hate snail mail, and hateful comments at her blog that a nice card of Congratulations will be welcomed.
