When I go out I almost always have ALL my children with me, yes all- all four. I know... it's an enormous amount!! I often get spoken to by people, usually older folks. Lately, I've gotten a lot of "God bless you" 's. I got brave one day and told one person, "Thank you, He has!" They gave me a funny look. Some to the affect of "God BLESS you", which means "You need God's help", some which come across as "You're crazy," and then there was one nice lady who actually said, "God has blessed you." Which was really sweet, because I do feel very blessed that I have children, and that I have (hold your breath) FOUR children. The Bible says that children are a blessing in Psalm 127:3-5 "Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
It's funny because some people talk about four as being soooo many, and then they tell me they had 5, or 7, one man had 10, and I'm thinking, "you think four's a lot??" I just listen and smile and go on my merry way giggling on the inside because it's so funny!
Some people like to comment that I must be busy! I like to tell them, "It's a GOOD busy!"
Today, I had a new one. A lady in Dollar tree stopped me and asked,"Are they all YOURS?"
I said , "Yes, ma'am, they are."
She said, "Doesn't your husband know he's supposed to do something about that??"
I just kept smiling (trying hard not to laugh out loud)...and it was like she knew she probably shouldn't have said that and she went right into "Are there any twins in there?" No, ma'am. So then she asked each one how old they were. She then went on to tell me that she had two children and it was just awful!!
It was hilarious!!! Just makes me smile!!
