As is our custom, I was putting Ethan to bed. I hadn't been home much that night--a busy day. After sharing and quoting the scripture we were ready to pray. As I was bowing my head with him, he tapped me and said, "Daddy, don't forget to pray for all those hurt people." It was the day after the earthquake in Haiti. E had seen the images on the television and apparently Deanna and he had talked about it. <br /><br /> Too often I think we try to protect our children from seeing the horrors of this world. Too many children's Bibles skip over the crucifixion and go straight to Easter morning. If we can't talk about the lows of our days than our emotions will fester and infect us. Sure, I use discretion in what I allow my children to see and watch--but I also know it brought a tear to my eye when my little guy remembered those who were suffering and thought to put it at the Lord's feet in prayer. I like to think it made God shed a tear too. Take a moment to pray for all the people that are hurting in Haiti--and do it with your children and grandchildren.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1482788965736461056-2573952106585603398?l=thefaith5.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>St. John's Lutheran Church Faith 5http://www.blogger.com/profile/01244358318275574375noreply@blogger.com0
