Description

When I learned the first time that my first wife was to have a child... I was in denial. I was not over joyed, nor willing to feel that I will become a Father. Impossible!! Can't afford it!! But it did happened. I adjusted too and was simply amazed that my first child and Daughter came into this world.

I still had the same response to my "third" wife (long story) when I had learned that she is to carry her second and my "8th" child. This time I went through incredible shock!! But as time goes by, you make the adjustments. Everyone has regrets, and for a while I did. But now, if I had to do it all over again (I hate that idea) it's not that I wouldn't have 7 daughters and 1 son (he's in the middle), but I would take the knowledge that I have now and apply it from the beggining when I became a Father the first time.

I couldn't ever understand when folks would tell you "Oh, your so blessed!" What does that supposed to mean? Blessed about what? Kids crying, yelling, fighting, always demanding, making a mess, no time for yourself the list goes... NO! That's not what it's about.

God has entrusted us as parents to teach,feed,direct, and love our children. Since they, the children, are souls getting prepared for the next season. It's our job and obligation no matter how poor we are, or how uneducated we are. We must teach our children, and we learn so much mor from them.

Lord, forgive me. I can not possibly imagine my children never exsisting. Thank you for blessing me with those 8, as much as they can be a pain. Now there's still time to make it up!!!
