Kids say the darndest things...
What do kids pray for? As seen on notecards attached to the 'prayer board' at the downtown YMCA:
"I prey for my grandma because she is sick. Please prey for her too"
"Please let me go home with my family. I live in a group home."

It's often heartbreaking to see these things. But seeing them does serve as an incentive to those who are well off to help, and that's important.
Thanks for sharing this, Nancy.

I didn't see any asking for anything someone could buy for them. A real reality check....

Nancy,
I have found that children in the most dire of circumstances seldom ask for anything for themselves first.
Do you think perhaps they see others plight as being worse than theirs? Is it perhaps a special insight that they have been blessed with?
Just a thought.

It's interesting how you can be having one of those days and then see something like this to job you back to what's real. We tend to think of children and being materialist and then we see what's really important to them.
