Can your quiver be full with one?

What do you do when you long for a large family...but God only blesses you with one little arrow?   My heart is a little blue today as I looked at the calendar and was reminded that I celebrate my 39th birthday in a couple weeks.   I also have to make a decision on whether or not to get rid of all the baby stuff that I kept in storage with the hopes of having more children.

I've thought about adoption, but hubby isn't interested.   I do try to leave this in the Lord's hands.  I usually trust the Lord much more, but my faith is a little weak today.


Psalm 127:3-5 (New King James Version)
Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them;
They shall not be ashamed,
But shall speak with their enemies in the gate.

I will add you to my prayer list of wanting more children! I too am praying the Lord blesses us with more! :)

My quiver has one arrow...

And yes there are times I long for more ~ I have one blessing in heaven, and one here with me. With the way my health was with dd, even if God blesses me with a new husband, I'm not certain He'd place me in that place of peril again. I have delighted in all that I am able to do with hannah, because she is my only, but she would love siblings, and I would love to smell that fresh baby smell again...you are not alone.
