THANKFUL FOR L R KNOST

Today’s blessing comes from the author L. R. Knost
who, with the wisdom and knowledge she brings
reminds us as human beings and parents
of two very important things:


She teaches us that it is not our job
to make our children tough enough to face
a world that is heartless and cruel

(Certainly this should be taught every day in every school)

It’s our job to raise children who will make their world
a little less heartless and cruel.


And she reminds us wherever children are murdered 
whether in Israel, 
Palestine, 
Armenia, 
Syria 
Ukraine,
 America
or Algiers…
every father screams the same screams
and every mother cries the same tears.
