By luck I chose a preschool in our small, mostly white, town that had all racial skin tones and even had an Eskimo family (how is that for diversity). Although all our schools, churches, and town functions are mixed, I know there is still fears that exist. I remember when a foster mom contacted me to bring her newest child to join my 4-H club. Simon was a scared black six year old. I had other members of color in the club and when he walked in, he said in a loud whisper, "Oh, there is a boy just like me". At six he was already worried about not being accepted because of his skin color.

I'm glad to say that color, nationality or language has never stopped our family from welcoming people into our homes and lives. In fact, our neighborhood now is very integrated and we are the definite minority. We love our neighbors.<br />Blessings and hugs,<br />BetsyBetsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00807691752817225336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2089534109739317863.post-7288908493749139872022-06-22T08:07:30.829-07:002022-06-22T08:07:30.829-07:00 :) Friends are friends no matter the color:) :) Friends are friends no matter the color:)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.com
