Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. (Psalm 127: 4,5) Many families in the Christian homeschool movement are larger, generally as a result of the fact that they've come to the conviction that children are a blessing and not a curse. And that only God has the right to decide how many children a family should have. In addition, they've come to see that home is a great place to give birth. That hospitals, after all, are for sick people. If you're looking for a midwife we highly recommend Debbie Cowart, who helped us with our last two homebirths. Many homeschool families are also active with Pro-Life Organizations. |
