We are asking 4 and 5 year olds to decide were their loyalty lies on a daily basis sometimes...Maybe it is getting time for this old lady to retire...then one of them calls me Grandma and I know that whatever Part in their lives that I play it is important on a daily basis too..<br />I guess we just keep on doing the best that we can to love them.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525887776816216382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803164.post-25160853180632753992010-11-20T16:25:19.563-08:002010-11-20T16:25:19.563-08:00Yes, it is so sad, but so glad that he can be happ...Yes, it is so sad, but so glad that he can be happy about something. We just came from the movie "Conviction". Very good. The man's sister became a lawyer for him and it took 18 years to free him. Meanwhile his 18 yr old girl never knew him till later. Six months later he fell and died. So- yes, you are right, we need to let Jesus shine through us. This is the only day we have.Gerinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803164.post-56056242719199861052010-11-20T14:48:02.540-08:002010-11-20T14:48:02.540-08:00This week in my church prayer group one of the que...This week in my church prayer group one of the questions was: "Where do you see Jesus' compassion?" We pondered that one for quite a while. <br />Someone else in our group, who works with the homeless, expressed frustration and sometimes anger that Christ didn't just come down and do a quick fix for the helpless and perpetually downtrodden people she sees in her work. I could relate. Then someone else said that maybe it is the the Christ in each of us that needs to do the work of compassion. That's a response I can live with but I sure do wish more people would 'step up to the plate' and show their compassion to the less fortunate.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10820224609357654984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803164.post-72274337750206063372010-11-20T09:42:25.623-08:002010-11-20T09:42:25.623-08:00This is a heart-tugger...but we need to be reminde...This is a heart-tugger...but we need to be reminded of our roles in the lives of these vulnerable young beings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803164.post-24953390494265835152010-11-20T08:06:46.397-08:002010-11-20T08:06:46.397-08:00Sure is a sad one and to think there are so many c...Sure is a sad one and to think there are so many children all over in this type of situations.
