Another brilliant quote from Shelly at Good to Be Crazy: I had to laugh sooo hard when I read this because this first paragraph is going to be EXACTLY my family in a few months!!!
"And I often find myself wondering why. I mean, what is the big deal with big families? Who cares if I have four small children and a baby on my hip and two of my children are black and we take up an entire aisle in the grocery store?
Big families are counter-cultural. Having lots of kids and then adopting more is just plain weird. Because it smacks in the face of everything our American culture says we should embrace:
Big families are counter-cultural. Having lots of kids and then adopting more is just plain weird. Because it smacks in the face of everything our American culture says we should embrace:
Leisure time
Wealth
Travel
Privacy
Life
Liberty
And ESPECIALLY the pursuit of happiness, baby.
Dan and I have decided that we’ll live for more than those things. Because those are not God’s values. In fact, His are the opposite.
Love
Service
Humility
Peace
Dying to self"
Let's face it...we are crazy. We do look odd...we do take up the whole aisle at Walmart.
What makes your family crazy?!
