It gives us the opportunity to show our children what a real "counter-culture" looks like. One of the key points we like to make (in public, if possible ;-) is that many of our culture's "imperatives" are actually conscious choices about values and priorities. When most people say, "I couldn't have more children," they really mean, "I made the choice to value something else more."
I sometimes think that recognizing yourself as a person who is deciding priorities and making choices, rather than as a person who is the Victim of Mysterious Forces, is THE KEY to being a contributing person rather than a drone.
Very well put. A great lesson to give your children. Thanks for sharing.
It is a matter of deciding priorities...and unfortunately most choose “stuff” over children.
God bless
