Since children are a heritage from the Lord, every family expects to have children around who can inherit the estate and pass on the faith. Nowadays, we face various crises, such as food safety, pollution, climate change, and health problems. For example, some couples suffer from infertility, some try many different fertility drugs but still fail to have a baby, and some need to wait a long time to get pregnant.
We know that technology and medical care cannot replace God’s healing touch, but this does not mean that we should not use technology and medical care. God is in charge of everything, including whatever happens, the difficulties we face, the people we meet, and the places we go -- all these should be entrusted to God with prayer.
I once heard a sister share the testimony of her daughter-in-law becoming pregnant and giving birth. From her experience, we know that God never forsakes His children in times of trouble.
Three or four years ago, when her daughter-in-law found she was pregnant, the whole family was full of joy and expectation, looking forward to her having a child.
But she miscarried after being pregnant for only about 30-40 days. At first, they thought she lost the child because of the bumpy road they traveled to the farmland to deliver food. The family experienced the pain of her loss, but the sister didn't give up. She asked the believers to pray for her family and to wait for God.
Later, her daughter-in-law became pregnant for the second time. The family was again filled with joy. But this didn't last long because again she miscarried after about 30-40 days after pregnancy.
She still believed in God, though she was suffering beyond words. Once again she asked the believers to pray for her daughter-in-law.
After two miscarriages, she took her son and daughter-in-law to the hospital for tests. The examination results were unexpected as her daughter-in-law had certain antibodies which repelled the pregnant fetus and caused the fetus to miscarry in the early stages of pregnancy. The hospital at that time did not have the technology to treat these patients, so the sister began to pray to God again. She asked the believers to intercede for her daughter-in-law, begging God to provide a good hospital and capable doctors for her daughter-in-law.
After a short while, they heard that a hospital in central Henan could treat this disease, so they prayed for God’s leading in treating her physical problem.
As a result, her daughter-in-law was completely cured, and she gave the glory to God. During the whole process, she did not blame God, but praised God and prayed hard with gratitude.
She said that after her daughter-in-law was healed, she became pregnant. Although there was no risk of miscarriage this time, they faced a new problem. The blood tests showed that the fetus had a high risk of having Down's syndrome. So the doctors said if the amniotic fluid was taken and tested, they could determine whether it was Down's syndrome or not.
But her daughter-in-law was pregnant for only a short time and had little amniotic fluid. So if the doctors were to draw fluid, the fetus would be in danger. Therefore, the sister did not make a decision immediately, but she asked others to pray with her, asking God to open the way.
In the end, the tests showed that the child was healthy, so her family was grateful to God. And the whole pregnancy went well.
The aunt said that her daughter-in-law gave birth to a full-term baby girl at last. With tears, she kept saying: "Thank the Lord, thank the Lord".
After these experiences, the sister began to walk with God and learnt to rely on Him. She understood that Christian live a life at a price, and the road she walks is narrow.

儿女是耶和华神所赐的产业，每个家庭都期待有自己的儿女围绕身旁，有自己的后裔来继承产业，接续信仰的传承。我们生活在这个大社会环境下，面临着种种的危机，饮食健康、环境气候及身体健康生理机能的危机。有一些人因为身体的缘故，终身无法怀孕；也有些人苦苦备孕了好久，才怀上孩子；也有很多的人吃了不少的药物，调理了无数次的身体，仍然无果。
我们深知这个时代的科技医疗无法代替神的医治和保守，这并不意味着我们不去使用科技和医疗，乃是说以神为一切的中心，无论是所发生的事，或所面临的环境，或所接触的人，所去到的地方，都先以祷告向神交托。
笔者曾听教会的一位阿姨分享她儿媳妇怀孕生孩子的见证。虽然整个恩典的过程有坎坷，但神从没有丢弃祂的儿女。
事件大概发生在3-4年前，这位阿姨的儿子和儿媳妇刚结婚，他们怀着期待等候宝宝的到来。当他们第一次用验孕试纸测出来怀孕之后，整个家庭充满了喜乐和期待的气氛，盼望孩子的出生。
但好景不长，阿姨的儿媳妇在怀孕大概30-40天的时候，（刚开始他们以为）在去农田送饭的路上颠簸，导致孩子流产掉了，这个消息给这个家庭带来的打击非常大，但阿姨依然不放弃神，她给弟兄姊妹联系让为她的家庭后裔祷告，选择继续等候神。
到了第二次她听到儿媳妇怀孕时，满心地感谢神，期待已久的孩子终于来了，她们的家气氛又喜乐了起来。但是好景不长，大约在怀孕30-40天左右孩子又流产掉了。
阿姨依靠神的心依然不变，虽然心里苦楚难受，无以言表，但她依然选择相信，又再一次让弟兄姊妹为她的家庭儿女后裔祷告。
她们的家经历了第一次流产，这又第二次，阿姨就带着儿子儿媳妇检查身体。检查结果出来的时候令他们意想不到，结果显示阿姨的儿媳妇身体有某种抗体，对怀孕胎儿有排斥性，所以造成了胎儿未发育好就会流产掉。当时所在的医院还没有技术治疗这个问题，于是阿姨又开始祷告神，并且发动教会的弟兄姊妹为她们祷告，求神预备合适的医院和医生来解决她们家庭的危机。
过不多久，他们听说豫中某地的医院可以治疗这个病症，就再次祷告神，愿神带领他们在治疗的过程中顺利。
结果彻底治疗好了身体。阿姨将荣耀归给神，整个过程里她没有抱怨神，也没有心怀不平，乃是在软弱中感恩、赞美、努力信仰生活。
紧接着阿姨又讲了下去。她说儿媳妇治疗好之后，就顺利怀孕了。这次虽然没有流产和掉胎的风险，但新的问题又摆在了她们面前，当她带着儿媳妇去医院做唐筛的时候，（唐筛：目的是通过化验孕妇的血液，来判断胎儿患有唐氏症的危险程度，如果唐筛检查结果显示胎儿患有唐氏综合症的危险性比较高），医生的诊断结果为患有唐筛症的危险性高，当时如果抽取羊水进行化验会更加清晰地判断到底是不是唐氏症。
但阿姨的儿媳妇当时怀孕时间短，羊水较少，如果抽取羊水就会导致胎儿有生命危险，所以阿姨当时没有立即做决定，乃是祷告，又发动弟兄姊妹为她的后裔祷告，求神开路。
最终经过多方检查，孩子很健康，没有任何的问题，以至于她们的家满心感恩神。随后的整个孕期过程也都很顺利。
阿姨说，孩子足月后儿媳妇顺利生下了一个女宝宝。说到这里时阿姨眼眶已经有些湿润，她不停地说：“感谢主，感谢主”。
从这些经历和过程中，阿姨也开始真正认识神，开始明白基督徒的生活是一种代价生活，所走的路是窄路。

一位婆婆的感恩见证：儿媳妇经历两次流产，终在神的保守中平安生产
