They Don’t Mind
The family was likely to have to deal with onlookers who didn’t agree with their life choices. The Halberts knew full-well that not all people are in favor of diversity. Still, they didn’t care about other people’s opinions. Aaron said, “One of the central themes of Christianity is, after all, that God, through His Son, is calling people from every tongue, tribe, and nation. Grabbing diversity will make the world stronger as we marvel at God’s creative genius on display through His people’s varying pigments, personalities, and proficiencies. Our differences are cause for celebration, not ridicule.”

Somehow, whether medical or family size or financial or age, you are unable to have any more transfers.”
