Our family size has launched out into the great unknown now. We left the ground when we went past three, four was out of the atmosphere, at five we crossed over the lunar zone and at six we left the solar system. Now with number seven bearing down the birth canal we are about to go intergalactic!!!!
When we move about the community in our family group or part thereof we attract attention almost immediately,
even when wifey has a rare shopping trip alone, people always ask if she is enjoying some 'time to herself' noticing the absence of children almost as much as the presence. But when they look, most onlookers don't see people, they don't see an healthy functioning unit of interconnected relationships. They see a crowd.
They fear us as a 'planet destroying juggernaut' that is consuming air, water and food like a swarm of Loucusts! Not to mention government benefits!
The green eyed monster has gotten a hold of the majority of the population to the point where they are jealous of our carbon footprint!
It's like the earth is a pie, it gets placed on the table and divided up into portions, usually there will be some left over after every body has had a piece. There are some who will be satisfied with their portion. Others will want more still and they will keep a watch on the distribution of the remaining pie. If they feel any injustice has taken place there will be an outcry, and they may want it to appear as if they have no personal interest in what happens to the pie, they are just 'champions for justice' but this thin disguise is easily seen through!
We meet many 'champions of Justice'.
They hold the high moral ground because the are the majority and in democratic countries the will of the majority is law! Unless you happen to belong to the homosexual minority or the Eco worshiping faux Buddhist minority! Then the will of the minority is law!
But back to the numbers. Are numbers important. We are good for the mathematical skills of the community because as soon as we appear wheels start turning in observers minds and the counters start whirling!
I also speak of number six or seven child, firstborn or middle child.
All these numbering are of great significance to earthly life but are they important to God? Does he inwardly groan at the appearance of yet another swollen belly or howling infant? Does God wish we would just get a TV or 'the snip' like normal people!
If we go back to the pie analogy we who keep a watch on the pie are so concerned only because we know that there will be no more pies a-comin.
Where as this doesn't trouble God I the slightest because if he needs another pie there are plenty more where he got the first one from....
'For He spoke and it came to pass, He opened His mouth and it stood firm!'
God is not limited to a single pie, He has 'pies for Africa' on tap. The only reason we seem to have only this one pie to diviee up is so God can see how well we share and consider our neighbour. In the one pie God has provided enough sustenance for all the creatures that He has willed into existence, yes that's right I just said our children exist according to the will of God, that is if he did not will it they would not exist!
If there is an abundant quantity of pie why do some die of hunger and some grow fat?
Greed and selfishness.
Says the man who just spent enough on a luxury coffee maker today to feed an Indian orphan for four months! (Just so you know I'm not looking down on anyone.)
I pray that someone might gain a new insight into life on this planet as a result of reading this, please Lord make it so, Amen.
