A baby?

What would I do if I found myself pregnant again? It's quite unthinkable really, after all, my youngest is already 7 this year! Yet, there's always the possibility since I'm still productive and so is my husband.

When my gym mate asked me what I would do if I really were pregnant, my answer was "keep the baby, of course!" Her eyes grew wide in surprise. Apparently, an easy solution for her would be to abort the baby.

Her response made me think, in this day and age, where there's no war nor famine, not in Malaysia anyway, why would anyone kill one's own flesh and blood just for the sake of convenience?

I regard every child as a gift from God, sure there are times when I questioned God's generosity, but there is never a doubt in my mind that all my babies were preordained by God Himself and there is a purpose for each and everyone of my children.

So, if God were to give me another baby at this juncture of my life, I will receive the baby with joy but also fear and trembling; because raising a child is a huge responsibility and we would need copious amounts of grace from God to see us through.
