Preach On

There was an incident at one of our Bible Schools this year where a mother put her sick young child in the nursery.  I was at the nursery about to drop off my kids and a bunch of their cousins for some evening play when they heard me discussing with the head of the nursery the situation and its impending doom and gloom.  The children, all 7 of them, were utterly shocked at the apparent audacity of this mother and her insistence of leaving this sick child in the nursery.  All the kids and I had a great discussion about responsibility and the importance of thoughtful decisions and how our selfishness can affect other people and have long term and often bad consequences.  They were all very agreeable and understanding.  Teagan was especially adamant with her disgust of the situation and that something MUST be done about it!  She looked at me with a preachy pointed finger and said, "I know what she (the mother) needs.  She needs a prophet to tell her what to do!"
