When my husband preached on Matthew 15: 21-28 from the New Testament of the Bible this last Sunday morning on the desperate Canaanite mother with her demonized daughter, he made a comment that grabbed my attention.
“Prejudices are inherent, we all have them. We need to recognize them and fight them until they are gone.”
I like to read children’s easy reader books by Eve Bunting. One of her tomes placed a Hispanic boy in a big city with his mom. A local grocery store owner from an Asian country had a fat growly cat. The lady yelled at the children in the neighborhood, the cat hissed at them.
When their tall building caught on fire it changed all of their lives.
Such a great story: Smoky Night by Eve Bunting and illustrated by David Diaz, portrays people in a powerful way without preaching about their attitudes or circumstances.
This award-winning book was published by Voyager Books, San Diego; New York, NY; and London, and copyrighted in 1994.
I hope you are well. May God bless you.
