Your father who sees in secret: Madeleines for dessert

I picked citrus with migrant workers when I was a boy.  They were paid partly by being given food in the field, which they insisted on sharing with me - who wasn't supposed to get any of that food.  They also picked the tops of my trees, to keep me safe.  We look at the Book of Lamentations, and a passage that focuses on the harsh impact on children as a result of the Babylonian invasion and slaughter.  We consider just what it means to be giving, especially to children, and who are most likely to give.  We also consider how my mother thanked the men who fed me.
