Do you like the song, Hark the Herald Angels Sing? It was written by Charles Wesley, the 18th child of Susannah Wesley, the 24th child in her family. How sad it would be, if the Wesley's had said, "You know, honey, I think 17 kids is really enough?" Or if Susanna's mother had stopped at a respectable 20 children. I'm so glad they didn't. It's one of my favorite Christmas carols.
Hail the heaven born Prince of Peace, Hail the Son of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings, risen with healing in His wings.
Mild He lay His glory by, born that man no more may die.
Born to raise the sons of earth, born to give them second birth.
