"While the earth has been successfully populated (and in some cases overpopulated), having children is now viewed as a way to aquire desired possessions or hobbies instead of an obligation to create and raise the next generation of leaders, artists, doctors, and so on who will take care of and rule over the planet."-DiMarco
Now thats a sad and terrifying thought! Yes, kids are fun. At least in my opinion. I love playing with them and I love taking care of them. I am very much a nurturer. I do desire to have my own children someday and I do look forward to playing with them...but not merely as a desired possession or hobby! I also desire to have children because I believe that my husband and I could raise them well. We can teach them and guide them and help them mature into adults. Adults who will be mature and responsible attributes to their generation and to society as a whole. Also, followers of Christ who will live for His glory. People who will stand upright and be caring and loving of those around them!
