I am a mom to cats now... I have 7 cats.... I waited for 20 years for children... Doctors have told me there is zero chance at my age....i love cats a lot... So I adopted cats... Adopting a child is out of question as I can't call him or her as my own

Just like He made some men and some women some short and some tall some black some white because He is the creator, same way He gives children to some and doesn’t give to some. we belong to Him and we return to Him, this very short life is temporary, those who have kids and those who don’t have kids both have to return to Him nothing will remain in this world. Having children and not having children both are a test, an exam, version A and version B.
