A fish and a bird can fall in love with each other but where will they make a home?
It's one of those less talked about expressions. We Americans are used to the notion of being anyone who we choose to be.
"We can take a man out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the man" Isn't true but it sure does seem to be.
A family I know is looking to adopt some kids from an international agency. But the kids are resisting because they "know" their place in the society they come from.
I forsee a lot of heartbreak in this no matter the outcome.
Adoption is one of those things that I always applaud. I got adopted by God. But I'm still a lousy child even though I do try.
It's worse with earthly families and older children adoptions. The adoptee never feels like a fit into the family.
Caleb's father (of the stories in the Old Testament about the 12 spies) got adopted into the tribe of Judah...and were probably Edomites. But "Who has a heart like Caleb?" Is one of my favorite lines in the book of Judges.
His nephew became the first judge.
He kinda took a liking of his family's adoption. So many people don't.
Indeed...same reason applies to why those who win the lottery become poor once again a few years later.
Just thinking out loud.
