Little boy questions
by adustyframe ~ December 11th, 2006Some months ago, my son looked at me and said,
“Why doesn’t God give us another baby?”
“Well, Moms and Dads have to live in the same house for God to send babies.”
“Oh.” he said.
It’s a cute little giggle. He doesn’t understand all that. Still Mom’s arms miss the babies that might have been.
God knew before time that this was going to happen in our home. He graciously didn’t send us another baby.
I find it hard to keep one child’s life on an even keel. I know that God knew having another child wasn’t going to be easy for me.
So I am often sad over the “might have beens” and I wish that there were many little feet running around this house, we still thank God that in his providence he chose for now that we have only one precious little boy.
I am however very much looking forward to living in the same house with Daddy!

I’m sitting here crying after reading many of your posts. An online friend shared your web address and I wanted to write. Thanks for sharing from your heart and not ’sanitizing it’ like you mentioned about how some folks clean up their thoughts on their trials. We want to look clean and tidy to the world, and sometimes life is anything but clean and tidy.
You’re all in my prayers. I just want to cry out to the Lord to provide a way out for your husband—for the legal system to show favor on him and for your family to be together once again and soon.
I’ll continue to pray until I see here that your family has victory—and then some as you adjust to your life together again. I consider it an honor.

Oh, my. I have had similar conversations with my son who just turned 6. His father, my husband, has been incarcerated since he was 17 mths old. Just recently he was thinking how nice it would be for there to be another baby in the house…
Last year was about the first time it really hit him that his dad is not here. And it doesn’t help that he isn’t allowed to go see him in prison. But we are wrking hard to get that rectified.
