Day Forty Four 2012
















I picked up grandson Elijah from school this afternoon. I feel grateful that he likes to share with me things that happened during his day. One of his highs--checking out a new book from the school library ('Pokemon'--he was looking forward to reading it at home this evening). His low for the day--learning that a classmate's mom had died (this same classmate had already lost his dad) and now he has to live with his grandparents. I could hear the regret in his voice when he was telling me the story. He's such a good kid, blessed with a tender heart.
There never was any heart truly great and generous, that was not also tender and compassionate.

So happy that Elijah is so sweet! Makes me sad to hear his friend lost his dad, too. Heartbreaking.

I meant mom not dad...sad either way.
