It is so wonderful to see the Holy Spirit stirring you up to exhortation. I love you and am very proud of you.<BR/><BR/>DadAngelasparenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13241476341588460626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37197242.post-20372947099708420332007-08-18T08:20:00.000-07:002007-08-18T08:20:00.000-07:00Thanks everyone that shared your thoughts with me ...Thanks everyone that shared your thoughts with me on this. It's one of those things I wrote and then left the house for the day and thought "Maybe I shouldn't have shared those thoughts"... Now I'm glad I did.<BR/>Manyblessings- If you do post this question on your blog I would love to know what kind of responses you get to it. Would you please let me know if you do it?Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533384703623216515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37197242.post-9901299759478536122007-08-17T19:20:00.000-07:002007-08-17T19:20:00.000-07:00Angela,I had honestly never thought of this before...Angela,<BR/>I had honestly never thought of this before, but wow...you made an excellent, excellent point. The part that really convicted me was when you said, "Why is that question only being asked of them by everyone. I wonder if many of these people giving them this advice, including large biological families, if they have turned to themselves and asked themselves and God in prayer "What about adoption?" with a willing heart if God were to call them in this way...as well as those who struggle with having bio children. Should they ask this question also? Yes... but not any differently then a family with 10 bio kids." <BR/><BR/>I'm going to mull this over then bring it up on my blog. I need to quote you on this one if that's ok. <BR/><BR/>Excellent. <BR/>dDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198082344456465490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37197242.post-18878492002620189502007-08-17T13:57:00.000-07:002007-08-17T13:57:00.000-07:00I had never really thought about it, but you are c...I had never really thought about it, but you are completely right!Becky Hinchleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10754753417051478483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37197242.post-47084921714678234622007-08-17T08:37:00.000-07:002007-08-17T08:37:00.000-07:00AMEN!!!!!!

It really has NOTHING to do with whether you are physically able to procreate. Well said Angela!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14833554412629094461noreply@blogger.com
