It is often ignorantly and frivolously charged against Christian men that it is selfish in them to seek heaven and glory for their own souls; but no man who is truly seeking salvation will be moved by that accusation. When men really begin to seek their salvation, and to turn their faces to the glory of heaven, then it is that all selfish and ignoble desires receive their death-blow. It is not selfish, surely, for the diseased to seek healing, or the hungry food, or the prodigal his father’s house. So far from this being a sign that the heart is selfish, there is no surer sign that it is being sanctified.

Marci,

there are so many infants available in our county for adoption
through the foster care system. A friend of mine seems to
have so many offered to her during a years time, but their
quiver is filling up fast so they are being a bit picky now and
are looking just for another little girl and there seems to be more
baby boys available here in our area.
We sometimes consider looking into this, but we are getting old and
not so sure we have the energy to chase a little one
around. I am 47 and my husband is 55.
Perhaps now we just get to wait for grandbabies : )
My desire for more children is endless, and my heart so
grieves everytime I hear someone say they are so unhappy they
are with child. I hear them sometimes in the store when I am
in line, and I just want to say, "then let me have it !"

Lovingly,
Pat
