Answer 2

I don't have any biological kids. But I do consider all the children that I come across as mine. God uses me to be apart of their lives. When I see a child I see a vessel that is waiting to be used by God. And I do all I can to teach and mold them. The devil likes little children because they can't distinguish wrong from right. God has abled me to see and feel some of the tricks of the enemy. And even though I'm only 23. Everywhere I go, Kids come up to me and they really like me. And when I talk they listen. When I substitute at schools I make a deal with the students. I tell them what they have to do and who I am. I let them know what I don't want and what I do and we work together to do the assigned work. And if they do what I say then they can eat in class and we will have a session at the end, Where I let them ask me any questions. I love working with the youth.

Wow it's been 31 years. What a wonderful joy. Holding life that is a part of you. Words cant explain those thoughts or the feelings. My little has made me a proud grandfather, and to my surprise in 6 months i will be a great-grandfather. As me my thoughts on that. O yes my little girl still calls me Daddy

Answer 5

The first words out of my mouth as they carried my son in after I woke up from surgery were, "James Daniel Pate, you are beautiful!" The nurse yelled for another nurse, and said, he smiled, and it wasn't gas, I told you this baby was spoiled already! My husbands first words as he was gowned and masked in order to hold him, was "my father would be proud of you" - this was great expression as his father had committed suicide five years previous and felt his only son was nothing - and he now had a son to prove that he wasn't nothing - he was a daddy - and I must say, even though we're divorced, he did a lot better job that his own father did and that's remarkable - and he has gone on to have three more son's.

Answer 6

i was thinking "thank you God i he and i made it through the delivery fine and hes perfect" i was scared of all the mistikes i might make along the way so also praying i would do ok with him in the future and i felt so touched, blessed, so much in the matter of a few tiny moments with him, he was like someone i was waiting 4 forever and he was finally here and i was so lucky 2 have helped make this little stranger that i knew everything about.

Answer 7

I was thanking God that my son was born healthy and in one piece, but I was also mad because I wanted a little girl first, since I wasn't married at the time, and I didn't really know what to do with a little boy.

Answer 8

I was thinking, "Thank God, now she can get back to doing the housework, cooking and cleaning she used to do before her ninth month."

And, then I thought, "Jeez, I'm gonna have to get a part time job to pay the bills with her sitting at home all the time."

And, finally, I thought, "That baby sure is ugly. Looks kind of like a monkey."

Answer 9

A sense of wonder that God would allow me the opportunity to take care of one of His tiny children for a while. I felt like a possession of God's was being entrusted to my care.

Answer 10

I was thinking how honored I was that this little person looked down from heaven and chose me to be his guardian here on earth. I am blessed. I cried when I was able to finally hold him and kiss him.
