Are children gifts? Yes, I believe they are, but they are gifts only to be given by God. My daughter came to me as the most precious gift of life to this earth and to her father and me. She is God's gift to us and only us because we created her. It was OUR act of love that brought her here. She is OUR gift. If I was supposed to be a gift to Betty and my father then I would have been bloody well put into Betty's uterus by an act of love and made with her eggs and dad's sperm. This "coming through another woman for us" crap is the biggest pile of horse(*)(*)(*)(*) rhetoric I have ever heard in my life. If that's so, then God (*)(*)(*)(*)ed up, didn't he. I was not aware that Supreme Beings stuffed up so.
