Bible Note: Good morning Ma'am, and welcome to the forum. You know I just couldn't help but jump in here and say something. I recently (about 9 months) started to run a soup kitchen where I feed the homeless and underprivileged, three times a week I put anywhere from 45 to 85 meals on the table. And God has also given me the opportunity to witness to them as well. One thing I was not expecting to happen was, I began to fall in love with each and every one of them, as if they were my own children. Even though most of them are grown adults, I still view them as my own family, and I care for them in any and every way I can. late in my life I was saved by God's grace, and it was not long after that that I began to wish I had a large family, and I mean large, like bringing in about 40 kids and a school bus to get them around in. Of course when I'd voice this wish to my aging wife, it didn't go very far. Anyway, God has given me that family along with all the heartache that goes along with it, and believe me, there are not a few nights that I go without sleep for worry and for the sake of there souls I pray heartily day and night. So if you want a family, go out and get involved, but don't be surprised if you fall in love and feel all the heartache that goes with it. God bless In Him John |
