What It’s Like

What’s it like to have five children? I’d like to share how having many children is a blessing and a joy to us as parents. My husband and I recount daily how beautiful and fun our children are and we’re still recounting it eight years going on nine years. Though parenting is inconvenient or challenging……

Although God doesn’t speak to us……
