This morning we went to church at 6:00 am to help serve breakfast at our local rotating mens shelter. All of us went. We made some hearty oatmeal with lots of stuff to put in it like raisins, craisins, brown/white sugar, blueberries, and fruit cocktail. It was quite good I must say. . . The girls like to help at church, serving food, communion, helping for Sunday School, helping Bond and I with whatever project we have. I like that their minds are working, thinking about social issues and concerns for other human beings. Their questions are questions of a 7 & 9 year old, but I'm glad that they are asking questions. This morning we had many questions about why people are homeless and how come they don't have anywhere to go, how come they can't find a job or somewhere to live, why don't they have a family, etc. I tell you, good questions for 7 & 9 years old. So we attempted to answer them the best we could and then we colored. . . yes colored pictures. . . of our family and our neighborhood surroundings. I'm glad the girls feel secure enough to ask of those kinds of questions but also recognize the good things that have been made available to them and can express those blessings in pictures. . .
