Also it wouldn't su...Strong opinions! ;-) :-) <br /><br />Also it wouldn't suprise me if in reality most of these people having children are jealous about the freedom we have that they no longer have themselves. <br /><br />I just want to point out one thing though; Being a Beleiver and Follower of Christ Jesus, we do lose ourselves in some sense. We are still the ones which God created us to being, with our abilities and given talents through Him, but at the same time once we chose to having Him in our lives, we then no longer live for ourselves but we are meant to living for Him. <br /><br />This is something a lot of parents point out; About sacrificing their freedom for their children, to have more time and focuse on them, more than in yourself. Also something that can make it easier for them to misjudge such people like us that chose to not wanting to have any children. They can easily say that we are more self centered than what they are, whilst forgetting that they chose for getting children of their own. Most likely they will feel better if they can take away our joys in having that freedom many of them have lost 'cause of getting children themselves. <br /><br />I see it as a great joy to be living for the Lord, and I beleive that by having no children, I will have much more time spending with my own growth in Christ Jesus. This is very important for me, and I wouldn't like to change this!

Thank you for sharing...Very well expressed letter! Thank you for sharing these very raw feelings. Even if they fall on deaf ears your words are very powerful and express a lot of what many of us would want to say to friends and acquaintances who don't get that the world does not revolve around them or that their is more than one point of view.

It is si...That is awesome and so well written! :)<br /><br />It is similar to some of the things my single girlfriend and I have discussed about some of our friends with kids - not the condescending part but the losing who they were part.<br /><br />Sad really...Gumbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15777638943346918789noreply@blogger.com
