Thoughts on Children

I saw a list in August on Pinterest about some number of things to do before you have a baby. After reading the list, I was a little saddened because many of the things that you HAVE to do before you have a baby are things that would be EVEN MORE FUN with a baby(or three). Making memories with a family is more fun than making memories with friends. Years from now, when you sit with your family, it will mean more to reminisce about FAMILY trips and vacations and memories than it will be to talk about trips with friends. Don't hold back from experiencing life in its RICHEST forms.

I was in a parenting class for my major last semester and this is from one of the readings: 

Those who devote themselves to having children and doing all they can to raise them

righteously will be crowned with the greatest blessings God can give to His offspring: full equality with Him. They will be granted the full extent of His creative power. Therefore,President Harold B. Lee warned: “Those who refuse as husbands and wives to have children are proving themselves already too small for the infinitude of God’s creative powers.”
