TBT: Celebrating Children's Day
Children are gift from the LORD. But then again the joy it gives when you see them full of live and happy. That's what happens when they feel excited and know that they are being celebrated.
It was children's day 2days back and we saw how most children were celebrated. Now if you visit my blog regularly you will know that children have a special place in my heart not just because I work with them in church but it's the love for them that makes the working easy.
We got the children together on Sunday gave them some beautiful suprises making them very happy and talking to them about the love of Christ,which is greater than any kind of love.
We also taught them about being kind to themselves others with a lot happening to the child's confidence in schools because of peer pressure, we took time to councel them and told them to always speak out .
Talk to someone don't keep quiet so we don't lose the innocence of the child to the hands of bullies and those that find delight in taking advantage of little children.
We further taught them about their private parts and that it's their private parts for a reason they shouldn't allow anyone touch them or give them unruly advances.
The teaching end with lots of questions from them. Some surprising but we handled each questions with wisdom and made every child understood that being a child is a beautiful experience and they should enjoy it.
A child's mind is curious and would want to try anything they see once without supervision. We have a responsibility to this children to protect them and shield them from the wrong and negative influences around. Children should be children and not used as a means of adventure and entertainment.
Every child deserves better and it's up to you and I to make that happen not just on children's day but everyday we have the opportunity to make a difference.
To that child out there with no one to love or celebrate them you are loved and cherished
