Changing the World... One Thought at a Time!!

Changing the World... One Thought at a Time!!
Where do I start?? So much to say and yet where is the beginning.. Where does it end? What makes a person be a bad parent? What kind of parent will walk away from their child without regrets? What kind of person would abuse their child.??

I ask myself these questions every day. I see children that are so thirsty for love and attention. I spoiled my boys rotten.. Do I regret it?? NO WAY!! They never one day of their lives will wonder if I love them. Never will they question what they mean to me. They know I love them. They will grow up to be good parents.. They know how important it is.. and they welcome the opportunity....Unlike others.

I could tell you stories that would scare you for life. Stories of abuse and neglect... Of parents that will walk away just for a high... Walk away from their own flesh and blood just for drugs... Harm their own children because they are high on drugs.. Or have so much anger in themselves they take it out on poor innocent children that end up in the hospital.. If they are lucky so that someone, somewhere notices and puts a stop to it before the next face they see is that of the LORD...

My intention is not to tell horrible stories... But to wake people up... make them aware of their neighbors, of the children in the Wal Mart that are being dragged to the car..Of the quiet child at school... quiet because no one knows what happened last night at their house.. Children scare to tell because they are afraid it will only mean more of the same... I just want someone, somewhere to read this and make a difference in some child's life. A difference for the better.

I had a foster parent tell me once. Just one night in my home might give a child HOPE. Just one hug might let them know someone cares what happens to them. I want to be that hug or that bed offered.. I want to change a child's life. Sure it hurts when they have to leave. My heart breaks everytime.. But I can go on.. I can love another and another.. Without the night in my house that child might never know what love is or means.. I'm willing to cry for them, to pray for them, to love them. God will heal my hurt with another hungry child. I might be some child's only HOPE. That is why I"m a foster parent. God didn't think I needed to have children of my own. He knew I had too much love to give to just one child. He knew I needed to love every foster child that I come in contact with. He gave me a gift... I pass that gift on to every foster child that spends a night in my home and receives a hug from my loving heart!!!

That foster parent is an Angel sent directly from God.!!!

So help me here.. Help me to make others aware...Stop the circle of abuse.. Stand up for something before you become part of the problem by not caring enough to Stop the turmoil of abuse.!! These Children are so special each one.. everyone... They cry real tears... They have very real fears... They just want to be loved.... Just like everyone else!!
