Someone To Love Me
Contributed by Christian Cheong on Dec 22, 2008 (message contributor)
It’s like this child in an orphanage.
A man and his wife visited an orphanage where they hoped to adopt a child. In an interview with the boy they wanted, they told him in glowing terms about the many things they could give him – good food, good toys, and nice clothing.
To their amazement, the little fellow said, "If you have nothing to offer except a good home, clothes, toys, and the other things that most kids have - why - I would just as well stay here.
"What on earth could you want besides those things?" the woman asked?
"I just want someone to love me," replied the little boy.
