      to be fair though, at least the people who have that kind of money are putting it to good use, adopting kids (especially older kids and boys and sibling sets, all very hard to place in homes.) Normally I'd be all "that is an apartment building, way too much for one family" BUT if you're gonna use the space to adopt waiting children - okay, you're cool.

    This is a heaven sent story. That’s found in the midst of a racist city. Look! It has to be pointed out, so no one will be victimized by this story. I’m so thankful to see love, outside the people that look like you, and or just your family. We need to spread love wide, spread it far, and spread it often, so it will return to us, from all directions. You see! Life’s like a bank. “Whatever you deposit, is what you will withdraw. If you deposit love, you will withdraw love ❤️ If you deposit hate, you will withdraw hate. 👺In other words, you will reap what you sow. No matter what color you are. Listen! You can have a billion plus on your side. If you don’t have God, on your side, you’re out numbered. Also! man can stop man, but no amount of men, can stop God. He will do, all that He said, whether you believe in Him or not. Again I say, very beautiful story. It really touch you, to see the two young men so please, grateful, and thankful, that there’s love, outside where you expected it. I love to hear him say, “mom and dad. I pray that no one will ever get angry enough to call them out of their names. If you talk to them first, it won’t be a shock to them. Your love will make those hurtful words roll off of them like water on a ducks back. 🥲May God continue to give this family all that they need, to hold this family together, and continue to spread love . ❤️💕
