…on helping at-risk children around the world. Every night at bedtime I say prayers with my 3-year old son, Justice. This past Saturday night we said a prayer of thanks for giving him such a great mommy, and asked God to show us how we could help all the children around the world without mommies.

We had talked earlier in the day specifically about Africa - after a picnic with a good friend who is one of the lost boys from Sudan - and discussing that the following day was the official Day for Darfur.

After the 10 second prayer…a short pause with a furrowed brow you could tell was doing some deep 3-year old thinking…then, “Daddy, tomorrow let’s fly 20 airplanes to Africa to help all the orphans.”

Ah, what a great confirmation that our commitment to use all our after-tax profits for children’s charities is a strong and true commitment. In fact, this single confirmation from a three-year old means more to me than all the nay-sayers combined.

How can you help at-risk children around the world (including our own country)? One way is by purchasing a Fair Trade sports ball, but I bet you can come up with a few ideas as well. Share your thoughts below…
