Dear Children Of The Worldπππ
Happy Choose Day Everyone. The news is dominated by the storms, tornadoes and devastation that ripped across the country. This triple digit heatwave has captured the nation. However, there are miracles and survivor stories emerging around shielding loved ones and helping others during the chaos. I want to focus on the children. My mother always wanted us to try anything that we could ever think of because we might pursue it someday. Luckily, the three of us have found our way in this life. Now the reason why I'm focusing on the children today is because we need to do better by them. The world wasn't supposed to be like this. Buffalo. Uvalde. Sandy Hook. Parkland. The children have been quarantined with COVID. Their education disrupted. They have to deal with bullying, peer pressure and school shootings. They are inheriting inclement weather, climate change and global warming. Violence is plaguing our country. They are watching adults split over political views on a local, national and global scale. Most of them don't even have a formal concept of what it all means. We need to do better by our children. I don't have any children and I'm not raising any children in this crazy mixed up world. I try to influence all the young people who are in my life to do better. Grow better. Be better. But we adults need to help. We need a lot more mentors to reach back and pour into our children. We need a lot more schools to teach the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. We also need some law and order. The fact that people are shooting in schools on a constant basis finally spurred some bipartisan movement. I was actually in the audience for an Oprah show that never aired because the families of the killers were not pleased with how they were being portrayed. The killers of the students. So I say this very heavily because I see the pictures of the Civil Rights Movement. I see the pictures of schools and being integrated, busing and segregation that existed beforehand. So many generational curses have passed down the line that we really need to look back and see where the mistakes were made. We don't want to carry that into the future. We are halfway through 2022 and I want our children to be set on the right course. They are our future. They hold the keys to the world. They will be the ones traveling in space. They will be the ones in public office. They will be global ambassadors. They will have what we instill in them. So take your honor seriously. If God blessed you to be a parent, be a parent. Kids have enough friends as it is. Bestow the love, discipline and knowledge of a parent. Bruce Lee stated "Instead of buying your children all the things you never had, you should teach them all the things you were never taught. Material wears out, but knowledge stays.". I couldn't agree more. Receive this message in the peace and joy intended. Pray for those who have suffered under these undeniable circumstances. While sheltering in place, be safe during this pandemic. Spread some hope for the future into your families during this summer season. But I certainly do want to hear from you. Please share your thoughts below. Thank you for supporting this blog space and reading this article. Stay safe and stay healthy. Take Care and God Bless!!!
