The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left.
Ecclesiastes 10:2
but the heart of the fool to the left.
Ecclesiastes 10:2
Why we allow God to plan our family size.
( Allow? Allow God? Who am I to allow God? ) “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5, 6 Sometimes people ask me what scripture we base our family size on. I think they expect me to quote verses like "Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.” - Psalm 127:3-5 Or to quote all the "Be fruitful and multiply" verses. Or they expect me to recant how, throughout the Bible, God considers children a blessing to be desired (in the stories of Abraham & Sarah... of Isaac & Rebecca... of Rachel & Leah... of Hannah) But for us it was not only what we found in scripture, but in looking at God'...

I stumbled upon your blog and have enjoyed my visit very much. This scripture "The heart of the wise inclines to the right,
but the heart of the fool to the left" I wonder if that is where discrimination towards left handed people came from?? Not so much today but in the old days children were whacked over the knuckles for using their left hand. I am left handed and although I don't remember being treated any differently I know my grandmother was. I may be totally wrong but when I read that verse I just wondered.........!!
blessings to you,
