Holocaust Memorial Day
Since Sunday was Holocaust Memorial Day, I took out a book I got at the homeschool conference last year. It's called "Tell Them We Remember," and it's very sad, because it focuses on the children and teens who were affected by Hitler's regime.
We only read a small part of it. The kids are feeling a bit of emotional overload, after the discussion of the Virginia shootings yesterday. When I mentioned that conversation again, my five-year-old plugged his ears and looked very upset.
The world is a rotten place. Thankfully, our home is a happy one. Said five-year-old is now out soldiering around the (perfectly safe, murderer-free) yard with the water gun he got for his birthday, patrolling for cats in the flowerbeds. That's the only shooting spree we have to worry about around here. Thank God for our life.

I wish that I could hide these items from my dc but then I think that, for the older ones anyways, it can be a time for prayer and understanding.
We went to the National Prisoner of War museum on Easter and it was such a great day---heart wrenching but satisfying because we focused on the sacrifices that Jesus and others have made.
We have only touched on the holocaust.... I am finding that a tough subject to teach/introduce to my dc.
Blessings, Terrill
