A true Blessing and Comfort

The New York Times published a heartbreaking article called The Unspoken Grief of Never Becoming a Grandparent.  Lydia loved being a stay-at-home mother.  She taught the kids to read before they started school and looked forward to sharing her favorite stories with her grand babies.  But both her adult kids are part of a growing number of millennials who choose not to have children.  And Lydia’s a growing number of would-be grandparents who grieve the loss of their grandchildren.  Neither Lydia nor I advocate having children against someone’s will but what a missed blessing.  Parents raise your children with a servant’s heart and a passion to value and cherish human life.  Teach them that children are a blessing from God.  A true blessing and comfort in their golden years.
