(The following story is included)

There is one thing people all over the world have in common– we were all children.  Children learn what they are taught by their parents and by what they see around them. What a world they would have if all children were taught love and compassion! We influence others by our examples, the children most of all. Let us show Love.

The young ones  are vulnerable and impressionable. Let us protect them, nurture them and  give them hope. They will grow up to reflect the lessons given to them.

Put two young children of any faith and heritage together and they will most likely do one thing– play. Giggles know no nationality and touch every heart with joy.

 May we teach our children to Love and, please Lord, let us learn Love from them.
