We prayed for a baby, and God somehow decided that three would be a sufficient answer to prayer.

Our triplets are almost seven months old, learning to crawl, and at the same time are developing unique personalities (that can drive you crazy!).

I'm just wondering how we can make so many mistakes in life, and fail and fall so often, yet God in His will and His timing can change our life in such a dramatic way that we feel overwhelmed with His love and blessings.

At the same time, I feel guilty when meeting friends that I've known for such a long time, and that have been waiting for a baby but haven't yet received an answer to their prayers. What can we possibly say that makes sense? I know we didn't deserve this triple-blessing, and maybe that's where the guilt comes from.

Sorry so random.
 
You shouldnt feel guilty at all :) it was obviously in God's plan for your life. I know someone who couldn't have children yet they went for adoption and not only got one child but they too ended up adopting triplets. All I'm saying is, just don't feel guilty, who knows...maybe the same will happen to your friends if it's in God's plan?
