While Mom was out last night wining and dining with friends (still cashing in on her birthday), my boys were home being cuter than ever.
Daddy took a few minutes to teach M and T about earthquakes and the calamity in Haiti. They were attentive pupils and seemed to be greatly moved by the destruction. When GG asked if they were willing to give money to help the people, both boys quickly and readily handed over all of their piggy bank contents to send to the people there. (Melt me!) M also wanted to create a picture to include with the money.
The blue represents the ocean "since Haiti is an island". The black is the earthquake and the horizontal lines are the wind. We presume squares and rectangles represent buildings; and the circles amidst are people's faces.
I am overwhelmed at how much their little minds and hearts were moved to understanding and compassion for this situation! How I pray for them to grow up to be selfless, godly men, always thinking of others. It is a prayer we, as parents, need to be praying all the time!!
Blessings this Friday,

B'...this is beautiful. I want to hug both of them. What wonderful little boys they are! Hugs to you and GG too.
We are melting, too! What a great lesson GG gave these little guys and how compassionately they responded. How touched we are!
Very sweet! It just goes to show that even the little guys can get an understanding of the world around them and feel for other people. Hugs to all of you!
So sweet. Steven told my girls about it tonight and I could tell it really hurt MC's heart. She was worrying about the orphans...
Praying for all those harmed by this disaster.
WOW! What a teachable moment!
And oh how the boys responded. Moved me to tears at how you're raising such wonderful young men.
