Bear Children Begotten of Love

Jun 022009

Someone just asked me if I'm still single. He commented that it would be better if I could bear a child and spread my genes, make more smart and beautiful people!

Well, it's good to know that he thinks it would be good if many more people inherit my good traits through my genes. Talk about evolution of the species, huh. I'd have no objections to that.

But I came to realize deep within me that there are other ways by which I could leave behind a good legacy other than by passing on my genetic code.

Bearing a child is not the only way to contribute something to life (especially if you can't raise that child up to become the best kind of person she's meant to be).

You can bear other children begotten not only by your flesh, but by your spirit, by your heart.

Agnes { Dear Joyce, Hi! I have been an avid reader of your blog about a year an a half ago when I too have been experiencing heartbreak and burden in my life.

He had called me many things and often times says that i am stupid. He said i needed to reform, and that the only way was "his way". for the past year i have been doing all he asks of me, i am not allowed to talk to my friends, neither am... } – Jan 24, 9:16 AM
