What, God is an Indian giver?

I'm sorry, but that just isn't ringing a bell! There are plenty of verses about kids in the Bible, verses about how children are an heritage from the Lord, a blessing from Him, but I don't know of one that says God lends them to us and then comes to take them away. I hope someone else is more helpful than me! LOL

Closest that I can think of is:
Job 1:20-21 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society
20 At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship 21 and said:
"Naked I came from my mother's womb,
and naked I will depart. [a]
The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away;
may the name of the LORD be praised."

Best I can think of is in Job 1:21, where following the death of his children by a storm, Job says, "The Lord gives and the Lord takes back. Blessed be the name of the Lord."

Of 2 Lords to compare: Law vs Grace,
you're talking about the Under-Taker.
The Lord of Lords is an Over-Giver.
Grace --> Mercy ---> Peace with you all. Amen.

I haven't come across that. It may be a saying or poem, but I don't think it's actually in the Bible.
