A child's faith

There is a family at church that I enjoy a great deal. The father, J, is an FBI agent. He's recently agreed to serve in Afghanistan. This, of course is quite concerning to everyone who cares about him and his family, especially to his wife L. He left for Afghanistan on Tuesday. L was fretting about him leaving when her son, K walked up to her, put his arm around her neck and said, "don't worry Mom, Dad is the ultimate soldier." He's eleven years old and the faith that he has that his dad will be all right astounds me. Yeah, J will be all right. After all, he's the ultimate soldier.
