Big Heart

Tonight Hannah was watching American Idol with me (I know... but I LIKE that show) and it was a special show called American Idol gives back. Throughout the program they would show needy children and their families. Hannah turned to me and asked me why some of the kids were sad and crying. I explained to her that some of the children didn't have homes, or a bed to sleep in, or nice clothes to wear or toys to play with like she and her sister do. I told her that unfortunately there are some kids in the world that are not as blessed as our family is. Bless her sweet heart she started crying and I said, Hannah don't cry baby, we are very fortunate to have the things we do, and we should thank God for the things that we have. She looked at me and said, "Mommy, I'm crying because we have these things, but those kids don't and that makes me sad." I kissed her and told her she has such a wonderful, caring, heart, and that she is right, those kids don't have what we have, and that is why we need to do our part to help in whatever way we can to help children like them. She has such a loving, kind-hearted soul, and I'm so proud of her for caring so much about other people!
