There was a time in our history when we had a Baby Boom. The years from 1946 – 1964 were baby boom years which caused rises in the demand for homes, automobiles, roads, and services. The more births the more the country expands financially.
I recently read this article about how we now have a Baby Bust. It was published in the Wall Street Journal and taken from the book by Jonothan Last: "What to Expect When No One's Expecting: American's Coming Demographic Disaster." This book begins with a quote from Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary :
“Demography is the key factor. If you are not able to maintain yourself biologically, how do you expect to maintain yourself economically, politically, and militarily? It’s impossible. The answer of letting people from other countries come in … that could be an economic solution, but it’s not a solution of your real sickness, that you are not able to maintain your own civilization.”
The following article reveals that America is need of babies. God has already revealed this to us. Isaiah 45:18 says: “For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, HE FORMED IT TO BE INHABITED: I am the LORD; and there is none else.” This is God’s blessing. He created an earth which is capable of providing for all the inhabitants that He sends!
We know it is God’s heart to give children but it’s interesting to read this subject from s secular point of view.

Where is your mind today? Dwelling in the past? Or even in the present as you mull over the difficulties you face? To dwell in the past or the present can be depressing unless you are doing it with joy and thankfulness.
Amen. 
Oh how blessed we are to serve a God who cannot lie. It is impossible for God to lie. He is the changeless One. His promises are immutable. We can trust them with our lives.
What is the thing you dislike doing most in your home? What is the "very little"? Jesus says that when you are faithful to do the VERY LITTLE you will be faithful in much.
Serene and Sam have four big window seats in their lounge and the children love them for reading nooks. Last night when we arrived for the weekly prayer meeting at their home Breeze was reading in one seat and four little ones were cozied up together in another one. The walls of their home are about two feet thick so they can have these gorgeous window seats. 
Do things seem all on top of you? You wonder how you can keep going? Can I encourage you dear, Mother, to keep plodding on? Take one step at a time. You can’t solve your problems in one moment. Your challenges won’t go away with one magic flick of your finger. Everything takes time. Instead, you keep plodding on.
No career woman would think of going to her job in her pajamas. Why then do mothers and homemakers who have the most powerful career in the nation hang around in their pajamas? It’s important to dress for your job. When you dress appropriately, your brain acts accordingly.
Do you sometimes feel like a servant in your home? You are at everyone’s beck and call. You have no time for yourself! You’d love to be out doing something really great. Instead you are stuck in your house serving everyone else. Well, praise the Lord! You are on your way to greatness. Listen to what Jesus said in Matthew 20 26, 27: “Whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, And whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave.” You are in the very right place for greatness! 
Yes, life is precious! Yesterday my lovely granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a stillborn baby at 28 weeks. The loss of a baby is unbearable. It’s soul shattering. And yet many discard life as though it was nothing. May the preciousness of life come back to our nation. 
Today we talk about the last point in the Scriptures that speak to us about our duties and obligations.
10. WE SHOULD BE TEACHERS
Our finite minds cannot fathom the heights and depths and breadth of our glorious redemption. I can never fail to thank God for His great salvation each morning as we pray together as a family. We can never thank Him enough, can we? And even eternity will not be enough to show our gratitude.
We are currently looking at the Scriptures in the Bible which specifically mention a duty. Do you remember that the word for duty is “opheilo” and means “to owe, to be morally obligated, pay the debt, express human and ethical responsibility, to fall in duty, it’s a must”?
Today we continue to check out more Scriptures where duty is mentioned:
Here are some more biblical “duties” for you today:

Isn’t this so true? A big part of parenting is building character into our children but we certainly get shaped along the way too. 
God’s Word is never out-of-date. His Word is true from the beginning; and from the beginning His Word is true! It’s as up-to-date as tomorrow’s newspaper. God revealed His plan for the way He wanted us to live in the beginning of His Word and it’s the same for 2020! Family—a husband and wife raising their children together. No change. Strengthen your marriage and family today. That’s God’s will for you. 
Duty? It doesn’t sound like an exciting word, does it? We’d rather do something more ex citing! Read a book! Watch a movie!
