"Loved By So Many"

March 13, 2008 First I want to thank you for allowing me to share my wonderful life with you. I am 53 years old, or will be April 8th, and I lossed 3 children, and after losing the last one in 1999; I was diagnosed with a terminal disease and was not able to have any more children. So I was so full of shame that I never had any children. So one day my pastor gave me an encouraging Word from the Almighty God; that said, "the reason I didn't have any children of my own was because of all the god-children and spiritual children He would give me. My love for my natural children would have taken away from the love He gave me for other children that needed the kind of love I have to give." So now I am as the little old lady in the shoe, that had so many children she didn't know what to do. So now, no matter where I go someone is calling "Mom."  I have many grandchildren as well. When I let go of the pain of losing my natural children, that's when I was blessed with so many that I sometimes wish I could go away and hide; but I love being loved by so many.
