Recently, the teenage daughter of a friend went on an overseas mission trip.  Trying to reassure the mom, we've all been praying and encouraging her.  The children have been trying to help as well.  One well-meaning little cutie said, "Oooo guess what?  I've been praying for your daughter while she's gone to Africa."  My friend, amazed by the child's support and compassion, thanked her for her prayers and told her what a big help that was.  The child went on to 'help' by saying, "Yep, I been praying that she don't get dead over there, 'cause you know some places KILL people when they come to teach 'em 'bout Jesus!"

I'm not sure she still felt comforted after that!
