As were driving home from church last Sunday, my son was explaining what they did in Children's Church. Apparently, they were asked to write their problems on a sheet of paper and then put them in a box in the middle of the room. Then they would turn all of those problems over to God and ask him to help them."What did you write on your paper?" I asked.
"Nothing," he replied.
That surprised me. "Nothing? Why didn't you write anything?"
"Well," he said, "I really don't have any problems."
That's how a seven year old should feel, I believe - happy, and secure, and living in a world that is full of possibilities and no problems.
I looked over at my husband and smiled.
In a world where so many children are troubled, afraid, hungry and abused, or little boy knows that he has no problems.
That's something else to add to my gratitude list.
