Psalm 127:3-5

Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one's youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

How often do we stop and consider the tremendous blessings that children bring into our lives. The joy, the fun, the newness of perspective, and freshness of thought. It is a privilege to spend time with children, yet often in the busyness of a day, we tend to forget this.

God Bless You!
