Teaching Children Hospitality
Have you ever wondered what hospitality really means? For my husband and I, we want to teach our children that it means to open our home to friends, family, and even to strangers for conversation and coffee, sharing a meal, or even giving up our bed for a night’s stay! It’s simply sharing our time, our energy, our home, and our love, and should become a natural way of living.
Teaching children hospitality can be as simple as inviting people into our home for conversation and coffee. Many times our church has had missionaries visit from foreign countries and we’ve never even met them before. They visit this area and share with us their experiences. And it’s a wonderful learning experience for not only the children, but everyone! The focal point isn’t the coffee or dessert being served; it’s the conversation and friendship that abounds through the hospitality. The company may have been strangers when they entered our home, but when they leave, they take with them the love and kindness we have shown toward them and leave us with plenty of memories as well.

Stats Show Children With SCD Prone to Stroke
Statistics show that people with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) are more prone to stroke. SCD is a blood disorder wherein the red blood cells have crescent-shaped hemoglobin instead of being soft and round, making it difficult for the cells to pass through blood vessels.
Called Hemoglobin S (Sickle) instead of Hemoglobin A, the blood cells cannot properly carry oxygen to the various parts of the body causing tissue damage in that area. This then brings about various complications and chronic pain to the body, one of which is stroke.

Special Children’s Hospitals For Sick Kids in Texas
If your child is facing a condition, injury, or you have the suspicion he or she may be facing a serious illness, a Texas children’s hospital may be a better option for you and your child rather than seeking treatment at a traditional large medical center or community hospital that provides care centered toward adults.
Although these hospitals can be skilled providers for adults, it might benefit your child to receive treatment at a facility that was designed specially for children, their parents, and also understands the psychological and physical needs that go along with treating a child with the worst illnesses. These hospitals also can help children who need “simple” procedures like having their tonsils out or having tubes put in their ears.
