FJWL_02:96
         (Dad:) This child is going to make you into the woman that you need to be for the Lord! You're going to learn so much about loving others and giving your life for others. You're going to learn so much about unselfishness. But it's not all sacrifice. It's not all just to learn lessons. Honey, it's because I know this will bring you happiness. It will bring you great, great joy and contentment, a feeling of real satisfaction. You'll see what I meant when I said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. You'll see what I meant when I said that one of the greatest things to experience on this Earth is to have a child.
         Not only will this be a source of lessons and a wonderful way that you'll grow and mature and become what the Lord wants you to be, but it's also such a wonderful gift of love!--So much happiness, so much joy! It's precious of the Lord to bless you in this way. He's reached down His Own hand and touched you and created a living soul within you--a baby, a new person! Isn't it miraculous? Isn't it extraordinary? Just think how the Lord is going to use you to bear one of His little creations, one of His little children. It's so special! (ML #2961)
