I love going to places with our children that have the potential to change them forever. But I realize as a parent we have a huge responsibility to help that happen. SO as we were at John Johnson's farm, I took them out back to a little sitting area and talked to them about what they had felt. I asked them what made the strongest memory in their heart and how would that memory change them forever. Their answers were wonderful and some shed a tear as they shared. It is so important for children to be comfortable in a sharing and testifying situation. So many times they can't share or they feel embarrassed in front of others especially in front of family. But... the more practice they get the easier and eaisier it will be. I do not let them off easy. The expectation is that they will share and they do. We were all edified. You would be amazed at how even an 8 and 6 year old can have life changing experiences if we will allow them the opportunity.
