Of all the gifts we have, the heart is one of those we are warned against, warned against the nature of the heart, surely this fiery thing burns for conquest, to have a crowd of nubile maidens adoring, but in foul trick, how content to bear no fruit, to have a grand and glorious hollow beating within. To have all deeds as vain ashes in the end.
Is the blood as wayward? It yearns to be passed on...
With our hearts exchanged, how much more strongly does this blood rush! Surely indeed, there are those called to not pass on the blood, or who through folly robbed themselves of the ability, even if they repented later.
People however are one thing we know for sure can enter heaven.
It’s the funniest things that I relate to in your blog. Not keeping your stuff…. I had a nice 1975 Cadillac coupe de ville that I bought in the army and it was my project. Caught an overseas assignment. Asked my dad to keep it for me, nope! Too much trouble (the man owned a nice suburban house with a carport and could have easily done it; I didn’t ask him to do repairs or spend money). Weird because just a few months before he totaled his vehicle and I sold him my second car for the same price I bought it. For the most part he was a pretty good dad but he was very selfish sometimes. RIP dad, hopefully I’ll see you in heaven and we can listen to music together and discuss why I think Bob Wills was better than Peewee Russell 😂

Children are people.
Very true what you said about seeing the Grace of having a family. Every day is a
different struggle. But one day my son will eat his green beans and his unending rebellion and stubbornness toward us will become a superpower.
You cannot fully love God until you have loved those he has gifted to you.
