I fear that for many young people (in their 20's & '30's; I'm in my mid-60's now) in Western culture (and some others) there is no desire to even BECOME parents. Our self-absorbed culture has done more to slow population growth than any modern medical technology.
There are pockets of young Christians (couples/parents/families) who are living against this trend thankfully. We could use many more. The church will no doubt find itself overwhelmed trying to help this generation discover God's unique blessings in both marriage and parenting; it's a very counter-cultural "lifestyle" today.
Amen. Getting to be apart of watching Casey's kids grow up and the way they are truly so helpful. A pain in the butt sometimes for sure but they truly are helpful. I'm excited to see the kind of people they grow up to be. Can't wait to see what God has in store for them.
Great thoughts, well written.
