Parenthood

Parenthood is a bit ironic. It seems as though there is a constant blend of harmony mixed with chaos; joy blended with anxiety; uncertainty merged with wisdom. Parenthood is therapy for the control freak. Parenthood is rehab for the perfectionist. Parenthood is a gift.


"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
