  My heart aches every time I read the newspaper and see another child gone.  How can we save our children?  It has to start from infancy.  We must show them how precious they are and how precious life is.  We must involve ourselves in their lives.  We must know what is going into their heads and coming out of their mouths.  You know, if you sit down with a child and just ask him to talk about anything, you’ll be surprised how much he’ll open up. 

We’ve forgotten how to love our children as our parents loved us.  Our parents couldn’t afford to buy us the latest Jordans or expensive video games.  They sat and played board games with us.  Checkers and old maid and go fish.  We love our children by spending quality time with them, hugging them and just plain old interaction.  We can’t buy their love.  Buying them everything they ask for is only making them selfish and self centered.  The more you buy, the more they will want.   We use to collect pop bottles and take them to the store for refunds.  We were so excited about the mere pennies that we got for them.  We could go and buy things ourselves.  Nowadays, kids would call child services on you if you said anything about working and making their own money. 

I’m not saying that all kids are like that, because you do have some responsible parents that are raising some responsible kids.  Our first job should be, molding our children into respectable, decent human beings.  Our children are being lost, and we must be the ones to stop that from happening.  Make your children your first priority.  They need us more than ever today.
