No More Invisible Children


"ABUSE and NEGLECT create "Invisible Children."  ALL Children DESERVE to have a VOICE and a FACE .  ALL Children DESERVE to LAUGH and to be LOVED ."

 
NO CHILD asks to be brought into this world.  People already living in this world are the ones that CHOOSE to create the children and bring them into the world that we all must live in.  I think we'd all agree it's not the kindest place to live sometimes, and I think we'd all agree that not every child is given the same type of family to be born into.  Without a doubt, we'd all agree children are the innocent victims sometimes, and IT'S NOT RIGHT!



In a society that DEMANDS we take classes, read books, and pass tests to drive a car, join the military, go to school, and work many jobs, it makes me sick to my stomach to think that NO ONE is held to ANY type of ACCOUNTABILITY when it comes to conceiving children, giving birth and raising children.  And who suffers??????  The children suffer.  How did we ever get to this point?  How can we change it?  Am I the only one that finds this disgustingly wrong?



Children are Held like PRECIOUS GEMS in the heart of God, and that's the exact way we should look at ALL children.  If we change the way THIS generation views the responsibility of bringing children into the world and raising them, then we will change all the future generations.  Not ALL children are taught ALL things from their parents.  That may be sad, but it's true.  However, ALL children deserve to be taught why they are so precious and why their children will be so precious.  If they don't learn it from their parents, it doesn't mean they can't learn it from someone.  They can be taught wonderful things from Grandparents, other Family Members, Sunday School Teachers, Neighbor Families, Youth Group Teachers, Private and Public School Teachers, etc.  We are NOT raising children, we are raising the next generation of adults.  Why not incorporate the importance of children and family in all aspects of children's lives?  We need to help instill Self-Confidence, Self-Worth , and Self-Love in every child we come in contact with.  Sometimes the SMALLEST EFFORT on our part could become the GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT in the life of a child.  We ALL HAVE  to do whatever it takes to make sure there are NO MORE INVISIBLE CHILDREN.



Until the next time we talk......Stand firm on Philippians 4:13.

Love, Hugs, & Prayers,
