Anxieties
Luke is sleeping in our bed this evening. We got a text message at 8 pm informing us that there had been an armed robbery near a mission compound, with 4 men in a grey van. I phoned the alert to the front gate, not thinking that I should have kept Luke from hearing about it. So he was pretty anxious even though I explained that there are robbers around the city every night, and that this wasn’t close to us, and that the guards at the gate were now the lookout. In the middle of our bedtime Bible story he asked, “So, were there robbers around?” When he asked to sleep in our bed, which we never let him to, I said yes. It paid off, because he went to sleep peacefully.
