NURSE’S NOTES, by Karen Dean R.N.

My Daddy is Here David Elkind, the famous child psychologist and author of the best selling book The Hurried Child, tells this true story about his role as a parent. I remember visiting my middle son’s nursery school class, at the request of his teacher, so that I could observe a “ problem child” in the class. It so happened that I was sitting and observing a group of boys, including my son, who sat in a circle nearby. The conversation went like this: Child A: “My daddy is a doctor, and he makes a lot of money, and we have a swimming pool.” Child B: “My daddy is a lawyer, and he flies to Washington and talks to the president.” Child C: “ My daddy owns a company, and we have our own plane.” Then my son (with aplomb, of course): “My daddy is here.: The most important thing about loving someone is being there for them. And “being there” often means being there. No Matter what, God will always “be there” for you.

Glenn Hitchcock, Warner Robins, GA

“I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.” Psalm 4:8

Little Children

Little ears are listening;

Little minds run wild; Tryng to be like Mom or Dad,

Comes natural for a child.

They want to dp the things you do, And say the things you say;

They’re watching and they’re listening, Even while they play!

So Mom and Dad, be very sure,

You’re always watching too; To say and do the things that you

Would have your children do Laina Owens

A Family Perspective by Bud Oscar

First Sunday of Lent

In today’s Gospel Jesus cautions it is not enough to provide food for our children, “one does not live on

bread alone.” Let Lent 2017 be a time when you are “led by the Spirit” to explore new ways to be a

moral guide to you children.

Please take the time to look over this month’s calendar. It is

jammed packed with things for us to strengthen ourselves on this

Lenten Journey. Let’s make this our Best Lenten Journey Ever!!!!!!
