From the Mouths of Babes...

A dear friend of ours is the wonderful mother of five beautiful children, from elementary school to college age.  She also is from Brooklyn, New York, which makes her one of the most direct, no-nonsense people I know.

Her children, evidently, have inherited this fine quality, as she learned this week at the local July 4th parade.  As she tells it:

"Our youngest son [in third grade] had a great moment on Wednesday morning explaining the parade to my husband's niece, who was visiting from England.  He told her as the parade went by that there are some people we cheer (e.g. - policemen, firemen, veterans) and some we boo (e.g. - politicians).  But, he noted, there is one lady that everybody boos, because she likes abortion.

"Then he turned to my husband's niece and said, 'What about you?  Do you like abortion?  What's your opinion?'

"Truly I don't think she ever had thought about it before, but she will now!  From the mouths of babes...."

Never underestimate the quiet, simple, yet monumental impact YOU can make for LIFE, both on those who fall under your tutelage AND on "just" those with whom you briefly come into contact!
