Much of what I've written on here lately has been primarily about animals. Well, it is time to service the other half of the blog's name: children.
Over Christmas, I read an Associated Press (AP) wire article, John's Wish, that just twisted my heart into a pretzel. I strongly recommend reading it, and reading it to your children.
What great heart, and faith, this one 15 year old boy had! What a difference he has made in the world.
At a time in his life when he should have been thinking about sports, and school, and girls, he was faced with a condition that brings even adults to their knees. He faced it with grace, and faith, and turned something personally tragic, into something wonderful for others he would never meet, half the world away.
What Amore heart. And what a reminder of the meaning of miracles, and of Christmas.
