That is Why it is Good News

A friend sent me this quote today. Her family is reading about Susannah Wesley right now, who had, I think, 16 kids.

"A woman who had a baby when she was forty-five years old was rebuked by a friend as being too old for "such things." The new mother smiled and said with confidence, 'When you are sixty years old, you are going to be all alone. But when I am sixty, I am going to have the joy and assistance of a fifteen-year-old daughter in my home."
