Forgive me, I am confused, while reading chapter 5:3 I find that Adam was one hundred and 30 years old he had a son named Seth who was in his own image. So previously when we learned of Cain and Abel were they not in his own image? What is the distinction here? There is a lot of history mentioned in this chapter and an amazing lot of people who began families when we would be retiring or retired and sitting home enjoying visits with our great grandchildren.
I was 20 when I had my first, my mom 16 when she had me. My two questions are:
1. What do you think the perfect childbearing age is?
2. What do you consider as too old to have a child? I was 35 when I had my latest, and my oldest daughter just recently had another at 39. BTW baby Faith is gaining about an ounce a day and now weighs 2 lb 5 oz.
For interesting topics and conversation starters how about dropping in on Amanda at Thursday Two Questions? You are sure to find something of interest there!
Thank you for visiting me today. Take care and God bless.
First that photo is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDelete1. I don't think it's so much about age but rather is the Mother ready to care for a child. I think it's different for everyone.
2. My Mom was 40 when she had my youngest brother so again, I guess it's about state of mind and is the Mother ready.
I would think late twenties would be the perfect age, not too young and a little more mature. But it really depends on the person and situation.
ReplyDeleteAs far as too old, once again it depends on the person.
But then I chose not to have children at all so this is just my opinion. I do have one stepdaughter.
Like Jo said, your photo is gorgeous, Judy!
ReplyDelete1) I agree with SquirrelQueen, and that's late twenties to have a child if the person is ready and willing.
2) God sent JoJo to me when I was 40, so I guessed I was not to old to have one more..
What a lovely sunset! Did you use a filter?
ReplyDeleteNow...personally speaking I believe mid-20s to be a good age. This gives a young woman time to find who she is and hopefully some much needed alone time with her darling before the on-set of children. I was almost 27 when our first was born 32 with our last one. We are blessed to live in such a modern time with medical technology truly on our side. I wouldn't dare want to push having a baby beyond 40 due to certain risks, but if it's meant for you to have one past that then God will work things out in His perfectly.
Have a good Thursday!

Beautiful photo Judy. I think the perfect age is 27-30. Before is too soon, after is too late.
ReplyDeleteI am basing it on my own experiences of course. Hopefully if you are on the right path, by 27 a person would have finished college, and have worked a few years in the world...it is importation to see that world. It helps you grow as a person.
Beyond 35 is too old. I committed this sin, so I would cast the first stone on myself. It is just not good mentally...I believe that if I didn't have T, I would be in a much better place for myself. But since I do, and I appreciate the gift...yadiyadi...it's all good.
BTW- that photo should be on Regae? :-)
ReplyDelete1. I think everyone mature both physically and psychologically at their own time and it is hard to say, but for me, It is between 24 to 35. For me.
ReplyDelete2. Because of the deterioration of the body, I'd say it depends on the person's health.
So glad baby Faith is growing well!
