Before “God will provide,” have you considered the child?
<p>Something crossed my mind today and honestly, it baffles me.</p><p><br/></p><p>I saw a woman who clearly wasn’t doing well financially, and she had six children. The children were so young that some of them looked barely a year apart.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I kept thinking: before bringing another child into this world, do we ever stop to ask if we can actually take care of them?</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m not saying you need to be rich before having children. But can you feed them? Keep them healthy? Send them to school? Give them a decent chance at life?</p><p><br/></p><p>Sometimes I see people struggling to take care of the children they already have, yet they keep having more.</p><p><br/></p><p>And what hurts me most is that the children are the ones who eventually pay for decisions they never made.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe education and awareness about family planning need to go deeper, especially in communities where people have limited access to information and resources.</p><p><br/></p><p>Because having children is not just about bringing them into the world.</p><p><br/></p><p>It is also about considering the world you are bringing them into.</p><p><br/></p><p>So, why do you think some people keep having more children even when they can barely provide for the ones they already have?????</p>
