What Good are Children?

In my professional and personal life I have worked with many children. It's hard work, working with children, but children also bring a lot of joy into the world. Most children I have worked with were so sweet and bright even though they came from really rough circumstances and backgrounds. Though children are needy and dependent, they bring a lot to this world. Through children adults and older children can have brought back to remembrance how simple life can be. I love what I learn from children, even if it is challenging working with them.

I have a baby of my own now, and if I didn't believe in the importance of each child's life, all the unpleasantness of pregnancy might have gotten to me. If I was focused on the stresses of my relationship with my husband, and the uncomfortable things of pregnancy I would have decided it wasn't worth it to be married or have a baby. However, even though it wasn't fun at the time, and it is still challenging being a mother now, I would never wish I had gotten rid of my baby before she was born. She has been so sweet. She smiles and laughs, and is happy. She reminds me to laugh and smile, and be happy. She helps me think more simply about life, and let go of less important things. Having a baby can really make a woman have to find what is most important in life. We were meant to have children, that's why we have a uterus. For women that want to be equal to a man and don't want to bear children have the ability to choose not to, but unless they get ride of their uterus their body is made for bearing a child. Women who abort children are denying themselves of who they really are!

God bless those babies in the wombs of those unsure of who they are or what they are meant to be!
