For December, 2008, our special tribute is to all of the World's Children. These special individuals are the future generation that will make the greatest impact on the world sometimes in spite of their parents, their governments, and their communities. In many parts of the world, these children are objects of abuse, contempt, ridicule, abandonment, pornography, and genocide. These children who are able to survive all of the negative aspects in their lives are many times given an opportunity to transcend their environments and make turnarounds in a very positive manner. The adults in their lives who want to respect the beauty of children's existence are the heroes that will never make the mass media for obvious reasons. If the attitude of these adults is to honor the dignity and the sacredness of all human life, these adults will encourage and promote a positive atmosphere for the beautiful children that have been entrusted to their care.
The headlines and the internet stories of serious crimes against children have been increasing over the past thirty years or more because of the innocence that these children reflect to the casual observer. Some adults are taking away the innocence of children by their selfish and heinous attitude toward God's wonderful creation. From the unborn to the early childhood years, children are seen as a distraction and a necessary nuisance that has to be tolerated by uncaring adults who have lost their ability to give and to receive a loving relationship. For many adults, the addictions of alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, and other infirmities have caused an unwillingness to take responsibility for the upbringing and the education of the most vulnerable human beings.
When a loving family relationship is shattered by divorce, by alternate lifestyles, by economic conditions, and by pure selfishness of all dimensions, the children the first to feel the affects of this unwanted relationship. To survive all of the challenges that the world enticements, the sexual allurements, and the devilish compromises that these families are asked to endure, the success for the growth and the development of the the child will be successful with loving and caring adults who AIR, CARE, SHARE, AND BEAR. In many areas of the world, adoption of abandoned and orphaned children is an option for responsible adults who know how to give and to provide a loving environment for these love-starved children. Adoption has always been an option for adults who are willing to give of themselves and to share their lives with children in need of love.
Yes, this is a season of the year when children receive gifts of all types of descriptions. The greatest gifts for these children is for these children to experience JOY, PEACE, AND LOVE in their lives. These gifts are priceless. Unconditional love has no price tags and no strings attached. Giving without any thought of return to another is expressing a willingness to give love. GOD IS LOVE. God has a special place in His eternal Kingdom for all of His children. "Unless you become as little children, you will not enter the KINGDOM OF GOD."
To be childlike rather than childish is the thought to be derived from the previous quotation. Many adults have lost their ability to be CHILDLIKE. To recapture that treasure consider what Childlike attributes are important. To be spontaneous, to be joyful, to be happy, to be realistic, to be loving, to be a giving person, to be a servant for others, to be an understanding person, to be an empathetic person, TO BE THE CHILD OF GOD THAT WE WERE MEANT TO BE!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF THE WORLD'S CHILDREN FOR BEING CHILDREN AND CHILDLIKE. THANK YOU FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO RECOGNIZE ALL CHILDREN AS OUR IDES OF DECEMBER 2008 SPECIAL ACHIEVEMENT LADDER TRIBUTE. Children, unborn and born, deserve the respect, the dignity, and the sacredness for the very reason that children were divinely created...TO LOVE AND TO BE LOVED!
