"Some went down to the sea in ships, doing business on the great waters; they saw the deeds of the Lord, His wondrous works in the deep. For he commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths; their courage melted away in their evil plight;
they reeled and staggered like drunken men and were at their wits' end. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress. He made the storm be still, and the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad that the waters were quiet, and he brought them to their desired haven." Psalm 107:23-30

It's not about how full your quiver is.

It's about Jesus.

 I've had to learn that it's best to not have intentions or preconceived notions of how things will be when you're married and receiving God's gifts as and when He gives them. It is not extraordinary to have many children close together, nor is extraordinary to have few children far apart. What is extraordinary is each individual child being created in the image of Jesus. They, His creation, are extraordinary because they are His. The benefit for us, as their parents, is the ability to be humbled and to serve...and of course to be recipients of slobbery kisses and pudgy hands in ours.
