Psalm 127:3 “Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him.” God has blessed His faithful with many blessings.  The greatest earthly blessing He has given to parents is that of children.  That truth is especially seen when young parents have their first child.  We ought to all maintain that happiness throughout our children’s lives even when difficulties and the “growing up” times happen.  Children are a precious gift from our Heavenly Father.
