WOYWW: Each Child is Precious!

I wonder how many WOYWWers come visit me

to feel good about how clean their desk is?

My space for working is getting smaller and smaller.

The toilet paper roll to make faces, is still there,

gathering dust!

I was making ATCs as my stock 

is running out and I owe ATCs to 

some wonderfully patient ladies!

I cleared out a bit of space 

to make room for drawing my 

bible verse for the day:

"Whatever you bind on earth

shall be bound in heaven."

Matthew 18:18

This verse goes with,

Mark 11:23,

"You shall have whatsoever you say."

What do we say about ourselves?

What do we say about our families?

Our husband? Children?

Friends? Our job? Our situation?

I have to catch myself several times

when I say negative things about myself.

Things like, "I'll never be able to master this,"

"I am so forgetful!"

But I never, never say negative things

about my son.

My sister Tina regularly tutors street children

so that they do better in school

and do not lose their scholarship

with the He Cares Foundation.

She says they have to teach the parents too! 

It is a sad state of affairs when parents

"bind" their children with statements like,

"Walang kuwenta kang bata ka!"

"You are worthless!"

"Walang mangyayari sa iyo!"

"You are not going to amount to much!"

But this is the reality in squatter areas!

Parents and other adults around

curse the children with their words!

"See that you do not despise 

one of these little ones."

Matthew 18:10

Each child is precious in the eyes of God.

Each child has unique gifts to bring to the world.

Let us make sure that instead of

putting them down,

binding them to a life of worthlessness,

let us encourage each child to dream,

to discover their gifts,

their uniqueness,

and show them they are loved! 

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!

This week,

Random.org chose

 #3, La Abela , a woman who talks to herself,

as she claims, and draws amazingly

with charcoal and graphite.
