Overheard
“I watched Oprah yesterday –
“Yes, I do watch Oprah!
“– and it was so sad, so sad.
“It was really sad!
“There was this girl? She was like thirty? Ish.
“And she had a really good life, she had a good job, she got what she wants, she went out all the time.
“You know — she wasn’t married.
“And then she got pregnant. And had quadruplets — no — what are they called? She had triplets!
“It was so sad! She was on the stage with these three kids and so strung out.
“Her folks have to help pay the rent.
“It was really sad.
“She should be allowed to give two away — really. It should be automatic.”

I can’t say I envy her the “really good life” she had before.
Using one of Jesus’s statements as a sort of arithmetic, we can discern the woman would have to obtain more than three worlds-ful of wealth to equal the worth in souls she has now.
True! Of course neither is so much good to her if she cannot be thankful for them.
Poor children. Perhaps it is “so sad”. But God teaches a lot through certain things: birth, death especially.
Yes, true!
