But then he went on to ask
what we did as a family to help the hungry. So we talked about
the annual Thanksgiving turkey we donate to Foodshare as well as the food items we give to
Gifts of Love and other food drives we participate in. Connor's response was that this
really wasn't very much from our family and that we could do more. Maybe we could get
other families from church to help, too.

One night while my family was eating dinner, I gave my 7 year-old son a sermon on the
merits of broccoli, squash and other vegetables. During my lofty pontification, I
mentioned that there were hungry children in the world who would love to have these foods
to eat. Connor asked if there were children nearby that we could deliver his vegetables to
. . . . At first I didn't know if this was an effort to change the subject or if he was
really concerned.
