Jacob's wives competing to see who could have the most children is a little amusing. However, there is an interesting lesson to be learned as well. These women found childbearing to be honorable and fulfilling. There are still many Godly women who feel the same. Yet, is an ever-growing number of women in our society who choose not to have children, failing to recognize the beauty and glory found in bringing new life into the world. Consequently, many of these women find themselves on a never-ending quest searching for fulfillment. Now, I'm not talking about those who are barren without choice. I believe God provides special avenues of fulfillment for these. But, for those who chose to reject the wonderful gift of motherhood, there can be no true fulfillment. Thank you, Lord, for our mothers; those Godly women who give of themselves freely to bring up the next generation.
