I really like this. It's a good reminder for me, cause when I see cute little babies, I freak out a little sometimes cause I think I want one right now, but I need to remember they are not a stamp collection (or button collection in my case) and they take time and preparation. But I also need to remember, that when having a child/children, it's on the Lord's time table.
(no I'm not announcing anything, Ryan and I are just in a point of our marriage where we are talking more of the "when are we going to?", not just, "someday" and discussing the next 5 years with those types of things to consider.)
That was one of my favorite talks this conference for some of the same reasons. It answered a lot of questions and feelings I've been having. Thanks for posting about it!
ReplyDeleteOh, I almost stood up and cheered when I heard that one! SO true! Besides, kids are messier than hobbies. :D
ReplyDeleteI. Love. This. Quote.
ReplyDeleteAnd might I add.. I am so glad you guys didn't jump straight onto the baby wagon. You have to spend a few years together first so you have a great base to build your family from.
At least that's my personal opinion. It has worked out great for us so far ;-)
