         (Dad:) If you want to have fun in life, live with some children. They draw the best out of you! You can't just pass them by. They are brand-new models, they need everything that you've got. Do you want to have fun witnessing?--Witness with children. Do you want to feel like you've really accomplished something for the day?--Teach the kids. Do you want to feel loved? Do you want to feel like somebody loves you more than you've ever been loved?--Take a child into your life--one, or two, or three!
         If you want to live your life for Jesus, it's a life of giving, teaching, pouring out, praying for, loving, showing concern, nurturing, feeling, comforting, praying, caring. How anybody could ever pass by little children, I just don't understand. I just don't understand how anyone could pass by those beautiful mothers with their need for love and encouragement and support.
         Don't! Let's not turn them away, folks. Let's not shut them out of our doors. They're part of the Family. This is the Family! What is a family if there are no kids? "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." "Suffer little children to come unto Me and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven." (ML #3056)
