Building a Stronger Tomorrow!

It is really true that what you put out there, comes back to you.
I was having a moment the other day of questioning my purpose. I received a call "out of the blue", from a wonderful BHW. She called with some questions about her site. We finally got around to that part at the end of the call.

It seems she was "prompted" to call me. She too, is a grandmother raising her grandchildren. When we talked about the importance of this purpose, and the numbers of grandparents taking on this most important role, she reminded me that "this is my purpose".

As a mother I set out every day to provide love and security to my little grandaughters. I also believe it goes further than that. I believe we each have a role in the security of each & every child who touches our lives. We never know when someone is watching us. Example is the best teacher. We should carry ourselves with dignity and self respect. Extend Kindness to Every Child. Do Not Pass Judgement on others (we do not know their circumstances). Be willing to lend a hand in schools and churches. Watch out for children in your neighborhood or any area you happen to be in. Smile at them. A smile makes you feel that you have value...no matter how old or young you are.
I think about the fear of getting involved in today's society. I think about the years of yesterday, when everyone watched out for all of the children. What do we want? We are connected, so lets all do our part to insure the connection is full of love, kindness & respect.
The children of today, are absolutely the world of tomorrow. We all should take care to do our part in creating a better tomorrow.

I was so happy to talk with you too Carol. Your message is so eloquent and so true. We all have to be aware of what is going on in the world around us and not be afraid to get involved! I have found some amazing women to have as friends when I have just spoken what I believe in and allow myself to be open to letting people "see" me. I have spent so much time feeling like I am the only one and keeping to myself because the process of getting my children out of the system was so frightening and I received so much criticism from people who had no idea who I am or why I am doing what I do and being alone is easier than "defending yourself". The last few months have been such a blessing because I have realized on a very deep level that I am doing what I am supposed to be doing and I am living the life that the Lord has asked of me and blessed me with. These children have changed my life and changed me and I know there are many of us and I am looking forward to sharing our journeys to where we are and the journey we are taking together. I believe we have a special role in changing our world and teaching this new generation of children the value of honor, integrity and the satisfaction of doing the right thing whether anyone knows it but you. Thank you for sharing with me and I am excited to be your friend! God bless and keep all of us in His care!
