Here's a little something my daughter, Rebecca, wrote for her writing class. I wanted to share it because it gave me warm fuzzies and made me think about how often I have people give me a hard time about having so many children and how hard it can be with not much money, but Rebecca says it best as to why I love my children and why it's all worth it.

Children

Even though children are difficult to deal with sometimes, they shine like the stars above. They create a wonderful family and no matter how tough it may be to take care of them, they are worth the hard work.
These magnificent bundles of sunshine motivate the most beautiful and joyous thing in the world-a family. No matter what happens, your children will always love you, the way you love them. Whenever you are feeling down, it doesn’t matter why, even if you’ve lost your job, your children can make you happy.
Children are the life source of our future and the pure joy of our lives. They are the one and only treasure that makes you truly happy and nothing in the world can change that.
