Happy Father’s Day. I hope each and everyone of you are blesssed with some time with your children today.
Psalm 127:3 “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord : and the fruit of the womb is his reward.”
Thanks, carlson1. I like the full Psalm, especially verse 4:
Psalm 127
A song of ascents. Of Solomon.
1 Unless the Lord builds the house,
the builders labor in vain.
Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the guards stand watch in vain.
2 In vain you rise early
and stay up late,
toiling for food to eat—
for he grants sleep to[a] those he loves.
3 Children are a heritage from the Lord,
offspring a reward from him.
4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior
are children born in one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man
whose quiver is full of them.
They will not be put to shame
when they contend with their opponents in court.
