Children – Blessings from God

We are all God’s adopted children says St. Paul in his letter to Galations 4:47. However, God loves us as His “real” children. He asks parents to love their children as He loves us. If God blesses a husband and wife with the gift of a child – biological, foster, adopted, or step; be they an infant, a young child, or a teen, He is asking them to love that child as their very own. It is not biology that makes a parent because the parent/child bond is built and based on love. It is love that makes that child your own – the love that comes from the heart of Christ.
