Having the grandchildren for more than a couple of hours visit, reminded me of how difficult it really is to raise children. Why do humans do this?

Why do we have children that require so much sacrifice?

Why are we shielded from the knowledge of the terrific amount of sacrifice before we have children?

Why?  Well, I think it is a seed planted in our hearts from God.  

In my experience, the only way to find joy in motherhood is to see it as a higher calling - to be a mom is to have a calling from God.
