I opened up the notebook I kept on my desk and, pointing to a picture of my family, said, “One reason I am so happy is because I have a house full of kids. That’s what it says in the Bible. Children are a heritage from the Lord. Happy is the man that has a quiver full of them.” (See Psalm 127:3–5.)
“But I don’t have any kids. How can I be happy?”
When she asked that, she stopped and watched my eyes. I knew she really wanted an answer. |
