Children are gifts from God says Psalms 127:3. In our society today the number of children attracts attention from every corner. We take a look at the different ideology surrounding this topic.
Those against it
I attended a wedding where the couple was asked the number of children they would want to have and their answer was four. A lady whom I spoke with sometime ago said hers would be three kids. Most of intending parents and already parents share this perspective. To them a few number is okay. Reasons which vary from the cost of upbringing, to time, stress and the likes. I must say that these reasons are shrewd in themselves.
Yes I do
87-years old Sekuru Tauzen Mujaji from Zimbabwe who has 108 children can be said to be the pioneers or leader of this group. Sometimes those of little means get in here as well. Or it may be that the victims come through mistake (e.g heard of quadruplets and triplet). This results into large family a midst all the fears and negative attitude displayed by those who frown at having large number of children in the home.
The wishers

These group of people were either in one of the two groups mentioned above, but life they say is not fair towards them in terms of children. This situation arises due to different circumstances which leads to not having the dream number of children which they want.
In the Garden of Eden, one of the instruction given was to multiply and fill the earth. Well there are those who obey this command to the fullest, others turn the other way as regards this order and there are those who hope to be part of the observers of the command.
