DINKS - Duel Income No Kids

One of the many sins that America and much of the world for that matter promotes is childlessness.

One of God's foundations for human flourishing is families and children.

Today many people have claimed the selfish mantra of DINKS - Dual Income No Kids.

This is celebrated as a lifestyle choice.

Yet ultimately this leads to the destruction of families and society.

Your Kids Are Not Projects or Burdens. They Are Gifts.

'A sweet friend said she enjoyed watching my wife and me smile and wave and delight on the Sundays when our 5-year-old daughter sings in the children’s choir. Indeed, there is a deep joy—a gleeful celebration—in watching our little angel sing praises to the Lord, complete with hand motions.

But there is both beauty and sorrow behind our elation.

You see, my wife and I didn’t expect our children to live past three years and 55 days. As I recount in my recently released book, Therefore I Have Hope: 12 Truths That Comfort, Sustain, and Redeem in Tragedy, our first child, Cameron, died unexpectedly at this point in his life. In our grief-stricken minds, we feared our second and third children were nearing the end of their lives when they approached this age, despite the fact that our son’s death wasn’t congenital. When they crossed the 3-year-and-55-day threshold, we viewed the remainder of their lives as an unexpected bonus.

None of these thoughts exists at the national level, of course; they are the sad, post-traumatic remnants of losing a child. The tremors of grief in your heart continue to have a powerful presence, even years later.
