As you read this I hope that you will invision your children... and thank God that they are not counted among the millions that I have described on this page. And even if we feel that there is little we can do.. we should remember.. to these children.. little is much. When was the last time you encouraged a child? This is something that we all can do. You never know about the children you encounter. Perhaps the little girl down the street. You know, the one who always looks like she would melt if she could just feel the warmth of a loving hug. Or maybe the boy that your son brought home from school for a sleepover. Just maybe yours are the only kind words he'll hear today. If this page does nothing else, I do hope that all of those who visit will stop and reflect... picture the children who have crossed your path today.. and tomorrow, make it a point to offer a warm smile, a soft pat on the shoulder and some words of praise and encouragement. For you see.. these children, they are our future. They learn from you and I. All that we see in them will reflect what they have seen in us.
