    Simple passing

    Summer activities are underway.  There is basketball, guitar lessons, cooking, swimming, art and badminton.  I am responsible for getting the kids to guitar lessons and swimming class.  They all want to sit in the front seat so I have them take turns.  One day, Joselito was riding shotgun.  We passed an old man walking along, carrying a child of six or seven on his back.  Both the man and child were very dirty, but the boy wore no clothes.  Joselito asked, "Could I get some of my moneyand buy shorts and give them to the boy?"  Some kids know how to ask the right questions. 

    The kids and I talked about the offering at church and tithe and giving to others the rest of the ride home.  Teaching opportunities can arise from simply passing a child on the road.
