Good Morning, God
The headlines showed a little girl scavenging for food on a cold, snowy winter day. Even though this was in Afghanistan, Lord, it is a plight that children face around the world and even in our own country. Oh, we don't talk about it so openly here, because we don't want to be thought of as folks who don't watch out for our children, but the facts are in front of us.
All we have to do is watch our children going into a school building - they may or may not have their hair clean and brushed. They may or may not have on long pants, or at least leggings. They may or may not have on a heavier dress, rather than one more suited for spring or summer. That child may or may not have on a snugly-warm coat, rather than a thin one or even just a sweater. That child may not have a fire in the furnace of his or her body, because he or she had to leave home without breakfast. Heavenly Father, who gives us children, may we take very good care of each little, young live in our charge.
In Jesus name, Amen
