What I would do with a piece of available land is provide shelter for people that need it. I would provide shelter for people who need it because there are people in the world that are homeless and helpless .
Also in the shelters, I would also make sure that they have beds to sleep in, food for them to eat and a roof over their heads. I would do this because I know how fortunate I am and how less fortunate they are.
People deserve to be able to be confortable in a house and have food to eat. If I were homeless, I would want someone to help me to. I could also provide clothes for them to wear,shoes,and for girls hairties.I would also provi de a toothbrush and toothpaste for everyone there.I would also make sure that everyone had healthcare available to them in case someone gets sick.
So don’t make fun if you see homeless people roaming around because if that were you, you would not like people laughing at you.
So be nice and care for everyone you see even if you don’t know them. So you should realize how fortunate you are and try to help the less fortunate…..
Priceless! All moms will shed a few tears on this one, having felt similar at least once or twice in their quest to raise loving children.
Mary Ellen,
After reading Mikaela’s essay it is easy to see that you are raising kind, compassionate children. I also see a high degree of empathy in your daughter for those who have much less than she does. It is so important to teach by example as I imagine you have tried to do. Keep up the good work and we will not have to worry about our children’s future if responsibility is learned at an early age.
I always learn the most interesting, informative and useful ideas from your emails. It is so easy to relate to the stories and themes you discuss.
Bless you,
Penny
God bless her little compassionate heart! Sounds like this “apple” didn’t fall far from Mommy’s tree. This little girl will go far in life with that kind of appreciation and gratitude. She deserved the “A” and a “smiley” face sticker, to boot!
Keep up the great writing Mikaela!!
What a beautiful soul and strong character you have Mikaela. Even though I don’t know you, I am proud to be a part of this world with you. I believe you are going to make a big difference in our world!
there is a saying that does likr this
“Let parents bequeath to their children not riches, but the spirit of reverence.” Plato
this saying could not be more true in the case of this little angel; Mikalea.

My heart leaps with joy and adoration at the writing of this child!
Knowing as a Mom and Grandma that one of the values I pray my family will have is compassion, it delights me to witness it in one so young.
What a precious treasure God has blessed you with to cherish and nurture.
KUDOS to you both!
She is such a beautiful soul. I pray that God will give her the opportunity to live out her dreams. To her mom, I will say keep raising Godly children who will make a difference to their generation. This is the same message I taught my 7 year old daughter, Amara by taking her to a motherless babies home in Nigeria. She kept asking who was cooking and taking care of the children. The experience made her so sober and thankful to have a Mom and Dad who loved her. So go on Moms and keep teaching. The children are learning. Mikaela, God bless you abundantly.
YEs. EVen us fathers will feel a pinch in our hearts and a mist in our eyes. It is true that our children have such a capacity to teach us to love and forgive. If we but only allow them to remind us of the joy that comes from unconditional love. As the father of a 7 year old who is beginning to understand the needs of others outside of her immediate family, it is my prayer that her mother and I help guide her toward a true love and compassionate heart for serving others.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful story.
Peace.
Mikaela’s piece is truly inspiring. You have instilled in her the value of helping people and the happiness and fulfillment it brings. I appreciate your effort of helping others through your articles and essays and I congratulate you for this.
As a matter of fact, I will be starting to be an entrepreneur six months from now. I am an overseas foreign worker )OFW) and intends to get back home and start a small business. I would absolutely apply yje business strategies I have learned from you.
Amazing Mikaela! Hoping we can raise our children like you, a Godly offspring.
Big consolation to you Mary, as a parent. It`s quite a big accomplishment to have
a kid like her.
It’s lovely to see someone with such a kind and generous spirit – compounded by the fact that she is so young.
Well done Mikaela! If only the world had more people like you……
How exciting to know that there is a young person, like Mikaela who are bought up with Christian values. Keep up the godly nurturing! She will be a very caring and compassionate person,who will be an example for other young people to follow.The world needs so many more like Mikaela around.Keep it up Mikaela!
Today my youngest goes to college. I am at present all over the place.
My little one is growing up. How strange the feeling.
Mikaela, keep it up well done, there is hope for the younger generation.
