To: Theophilus
Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it

Sarah and Abraham were chronically childless for pretty much their entire marriage, and ended up having just one. (Let's ignore the Hagar detour for a sec.)

Lot and his wife, may have had many kids biologically -- yet they were spiritually dead. Even the example of Eli, Samuel's priest, comes to mind. His sons were awful. Really sad.

The LORD is what matters. Whether you have one child, ten, or none.

Amen!
But I am very glad He gave me a lovely wife and a lot of beautiful children. I wouldn’t trade places for all the tea in China.
