For sure, one thing fasting does is give you compassion for the less fortunate. I hope when it is their turn to take the reins of responsibility and vice regency that they do so with some of their ego firmly kept in check.

Reading about the dambusters I was struck that they were all so young - early twenties. While in no way condoning war in general, nor the dambusters mission in particular, it got me thinking about young men I know today - one who recently dropped out of uni, another who rarely leaves his room - and wondered if these young men would rise to such an occasion if required. And having boys myself (aged 10 and 8) whether they will find a (good) place to demonstrate courage and strength. Your faith will give a taste of that to your boys from a young age - something I'm not sure how to offer my own.<br /><br />I wish you very well.alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788516787252247697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348662971403602237.post-73589134407230905552013-07-24T21:52:08.812+01:002013-07-24T21:52:08.812+01:00It does make it a teeny bit tougher!
