My two-year-old grandson Colin told Linda this morning,"Colin Happy." He has said this beautiful two-word sentence a few times before, and it is really true and you can see it in everything he does. Colin is a happy kid. He has what what it takes to grow into a secure, productive, and loving adult. He has the love and care of a mother and a father. He has the love and care of his grandparents, who get to see him often. He has the basic medical attention he needs, good nutrition, and lots of human contact. We read to him, talk to him, play with him--and we pray for him.
Colin is blessed and happy. And we pray for children who do not have the love of their mother (or someone like their mother, a loving grandmother, an older sibling, someone). Such children will have a tough road. And sometimes our society and our world pay dearly for this lack of love and care.
