They ought to be protected-all the little children. This needed protection starts in the womb of their mother where their heart first starts beating, where they try out their little arms and legs-jabbing you from the inside to let you know they are there and healthy and getting stronger every day and showing just how fully human they are also-just still tiny in size and therefore needing you to get ready to give them your best! This small, vulnerable life is a gift to you, and it is your responsibility to protect them from harm, teach them about the world around them, teach them how to care for themselves properly and how important it is to be caring and kind to other people in this world also. It is a long-term commitment, it isn’t easy, it isn’t glamorous, and for much time it will require self-sacrifice, selflessness and determination. Yet, even with all of that included (and those are actually key elements of why this next statement is true): it is THE BEST thing that can happen to you when you humbly learn to give everything you have for their benefit-your love, your money, all of your time-yes all: day in day out, sometimes all through the night, year after year staying in it to give them the best you have to give them and when you give them the best you have to give them all those years-YOU are the one that benefits the most from all those years of giving your best to them every day.
Your Kingdom Come
