I'm probably leaving the subject a little bit, but bear with me, please. My daughter had to write a paper for school this week. The topic was "The Greatest Gift". I know now that she has been listening to me and learning because along with adults and children, she wanted no animal to ever be hungry again. Here is what she wrote:

The greatest gift of all would be for hunger and starvation to end. If I could give the greatest gift of all, no child, no adult, and no animal in the world would ever be hungry or face starvation ever again.

This gift would make their lives easier and happier. All children around the world would be full of energy. They could run and jump and would be better students. Best of all, they would have a good life to look forward to. There wouldn’t be any stray pets because they would all be happy and well fed in their homes. And people’s parents and grandparents would be happier and healthier and more loving because some of their worries would be over. By giving this gift, people would face a whole new life with joy and excitement.

I have to tell you that I have tears sharing this with you. I'm a pretty proud mom of a little girl going on 10 years old. We can teach our children!!!!

Best wishes,
Logan
