Why would Jesus do that to people?"
I had a book club party at my house this week. We watched "The Help", one of the books we had read. We did a cookie exchange and I asked people to bring books to donate to a women and children's shelter. The kids were intrigued by it--and went through their books to give some away. Tonight Marcella asked me more questions about the people we were giving the books too. She asked "Do the kids we are giving the books to have a house?" I told her that some of them don't. Her eyes filled with tears and she said "Why would Jesus do that to people? Why would he not let everyone have a house?" She sobbed for a while and then suggested we sell our house to help buy a house for other people. She practically cried herself to sleep tonight, "I'm just so sad for those people." She is so tender. To a fault sometimes...easily "hurt" . I appreciate her thoughtfulness, she is a deep thinker.
