Ya know....I've been very lucky to know friends who have children because I've learned so much. Much I've learned has been about God. I see the lessons a child learns (parents love you even when they discipline you, there is love even when you're annoyed, parents really do love to give their children good things, and no father would give a child a snake when they ask for some bread). I'm so grateful to God. Reminds me of that verse that says "He will put the solitary (or lonely) in families."
