Ten.
We used to (half) joke there would be ten...and now that there are, it feels just right.
Ten.
It may seem like a lot, but when we consider each individual we can't imagine life without any one!
Ten.
It's a good number. Round. (Though we never have stayed round for long.)
Ten.
Ten lunch plates all lined up in a row. Ten rows of laundry folded fresh, covered in prayer. At least ten hugs per day!
Ten best friends. Ten life partners. Ten chisels sharpening my heart. Ten cherished gifts from God.
Ten...and baby makes eleven. (So much for round.)
.
And there is joy!
"Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.
How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!"
Psalm 127:3,5
