When my wife was single and got pregnant, her oldest sister and brother-in-law, who are pro-life activists, were worried she was going to have an abortion. When she said she wasn't, they told her that the baby would be a blessing to her.
They were right. My step-daughter is now an incredible, self-sufficient young adult. My wife went on to marry me -- and I like to think I'm a decent husband -- and to have our son.
So it looks like my wife's sister was right. Whatever my wife may have sowed, as a single mother, she reaped a blessing.
I commend you. And I admire all those who have made a risky gamble and come out a winner. I knows others who have successfully negotiated that tricky path. But having seen the bloody aftermath and financial ruin of others who have trodden that path ... Brother, you are a better man than I.
You're a good man.
Well said!
