One of my favorite passages in Mark. I remember hearing this passage ahead of my trip to Kazakhstan to adopt Matthew.
Taking a child, he placed it in
their midst,
and putting his arms around it, he
said to them,
“Whoever receives one child such
as this in my name, receives me;
and whoever receives me,
receives not me but the One who
sent me.”
-Mark 9:36-37
Receive a child. You will be forever blessed.
Heck yah. Don't delay, don't say you don't have enough money, enough time, enough ability, a big enough house - all excuses. People who decline to have children are screwing themselves out of the best reward they would ever receive...the unconditional love of a child. I'm right.
