A compassionate child
When my kid turned pre-teen, I noticed that he was into a lot of singing. I can say that he is pretty talented. I just wonder where he got that talent since none of us are in the right tune. Anyway, he joined a choir in our church and he was doing pretty good.
There are a lot of outreach programs that the church choir is engaging into. The problem is, my son never wanted to attend any of it. Why? he just does not want to. I had a heart to heart talk with him one day after a really rough typhoon that almost took the roof out of our house. While watching the news, we saw people having a lot of problems with their houses and with the food that they eat. I saw a spark in the eyes of my son that he wanted to help but he does not know what to do. I told him to start by using his talent. I asked him to give it a shot to join the choir in one of their programs. I told him to sing his heart out for the people who are having problems with their lives. Somehow, his talent will give inspiration for others to continue with their lives no matter how hard it can be.
