Sounds like a good read, I’ll look for it here.
I know that 5 children is considered a “large” family, but I don’t feel like we are, maybe if we have 6 ;-)? My parents worry that my husband and I have done the most foolish thing on the planet—inviting poverty into our lives, yet they love each one of our children. God continues to provide our daily bread, somehow we keep everyone fed and clothed.
I have never felt it was “large” either. However, when the children were smaller, I was always asked (with some sense of incredulity), “Are they ALL yours?.” Lol!
Everyone helps and supports each other. Are there difficulties? Of COURSE....but if we had no problems...we’d never grow and mature. Our children are all grown now and all contribute very positively to society...and we are a close family.
By the way, when the relatives give you the “poverty meme”, remind them that the Son of God chose to be born into what was considered “poverty.”
