For the Little Children

“I believe the children are our future, Teach them well and let them lead the way…” Hehe! No I haven’t turned into a Belieber or a MJ wannabe. I just happened to have visited a children’s home a few days ago. There was once a time when I would get excited over kids, when singing lyrics such as those mentioned above would not seem foggly at all. Then someone left me with a 2 year old for a whole day and I discovered where the big nightmare had been hiding all along.

So this particular children’s home visit was a little less exciting than it would have been. Nevertheless, the stories of these kids lives were horrendous. I was shocked beyond sadness at the misfortunes they’ve been through - things that had been done to them by their own parents and grandparents. I’ve never been much of a humanitarian but when the owner of Agape Children’s home informed me that they were actually struggling to pay the bills for these kids I felt that something is really amiss in society. The best I could do is pray for the best for these kids and be there for them.
