"out of the mouths of babes..."

i was just reading chapter 9 in "Be a Hero" (seven deadly sins) and Kayla (3) came up to me and asked me what i was reading about.
i hesitated to tell her because at that moment i was reading shocking stats about children dying of malnutrition around the world. but i remembered some of Aaron White's classes, and decided to tell her the truth:
"i'm reading about children who live in other countries, far away from us. they don't have any food or parents or toys, and they are very sick. they're dying."
Kayla sat in silence for a second (a rare thing), and said "i could share my toys with them, couldn't i?"

this is amazing! a few weeks ago i tried to convince her to give a toy to her friend and she said "but i NEED it!" this girl has tons of toys.
but the Lord is transforming her, giving her a generous heart.

"yes. i think that would make Jesus very happy, Kayla!"
"and then the kids could play with Jesus!!!"

"Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children of one's youth."
Psalm 127:4
