“Lo, children are an heritage
of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are
in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is
the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.” —Psalm
127:3-5
