"Each child does not just "add" to the love in our family- they multiply the
love, as we each develop a new relationship with this new person.
When we
married, there was one relationship in our home-- the one between Doug & I.
With the addition of Ethan, there were 3 relationships-- with Doug & I,
Doug & Ethan, and Ethan & I. With the addition of this 6th baby, there
will be 28 relationships going on (simultaneously!) in our home. That is a lot
of love, a lot of learning, a lot of sanctification, a lot of relationship.
So many opportunities to experience love, seek & express forgiveness,
learn to understand others' perspectives, serve one another. I praise God
for this."
