From Titus 2: 3-5 we see the following.
The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Where are the Titus 2 women that are teaching the younger women to love thier children? Most young women about to be brides, are pumped with the lie that you need to take the pill, so you won't have children so soon. But where is the motherly advise? They tell the young girls that they need a job to help support thier families. They are postponing a family, until they are living like the "Jones". Meanwhile they are pumping thier bodies with all sorts of chemicals, that does who know what to thier young bodies.
I wish someone had told me about all the side effects of the Pill. I wish someone had told me what joys the little children are to have. I wish someone had said stay home with your little ones , that they grow up to quickly. You can always get a job after the children grow up. But those tender years with your child will be forever lost. Remember to everything there is a season, you are privileged to have a season with children. Live with them, love them, adore, raise them in the nuture and admonition of the Lord.
The Proverbs 31 woman worked from home, but yet she took good care of her family and her household. She wasn't being some other man's help mate, she was a true helpmate to her husband. She was able to be around her children.
So the next time you get an invitation to a bridal shower, a graduation for a young lady, take that girl and tuck her under your wing for a little while. Gently guide her, remind of what the Lord calls children "Blessings". Introduce her to natural family planning as an alternative. Just please don't encourage her in the choice of the pill or any of her evil sisters. Be her friend and help guide her in the ways of the Lord.
The Lord will help you through. God does call the fruit of the womb a reward, not a choice.
