They are precious in the eyes of the Lord.<br /><br />I have been away from blogging for a few months, but I'm back now.

It's horrible... <br /><br />Another problem we have here is children that are 'neglected' in other ways ---mainly not receiving any discipline from parents/caregivers.. Children's behavior has gotten worse and worse here.. It is unbelievable to see so many children acting HORRIBLE --in stores and restaurants.. Who is in charge????? Yipes!!!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179345863797404094.post-16944709115526299542012-08-28T06:39:39.499+10:002012-08-28T06:39:39.499+10:00This post speaks to the plight of many children an...This post speaks to the plight of many children and parents. So often, children follow the example provided by their parents and the cycle continues when they become parents. Giving a few cents for lunch to feed the neglected child was given from the heart. Maybe, you should have gone with her to make sure, but that is not what is important. It's important that you cared enough to reach into your purse and "give" freely. It is easy for us to become angry at the parents, but if we look at them through the eyes of the Lord, our anger gives-way to love and compassion. We may ask ourselves: How can we help this parent and other parents like her/him? Are they hurting, depressed, abused? Sadly, whatever they are going through transfers to their children. As a teacher for 20 years and an assistant principal for 2 years, I have seen how reaching out to the parent can help the child. I have reached out and my hand was gladly received...Other times, my hand was rejected.... Although hurt and saddened by their rejection of a hand-up, I know that I have planted the seed of compassion in the heart of the one I reached-out to. The Lord requires that I plant the seed and He will do the rest. Keep reaching out and giving, as your compassion plants seeds of hope and love. ~CynthiaCynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11805821839864164676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179345863797404094.post-29088947597265455032012-08-27T13:49:14.289+10:002012-08-27T13:49:14.289+10:00░░░░░░░░▄██▄░░░░░░▄▄░░

This post really touched and moved my heart in a special way.<br />Your story reminds me of many things that happened in our lives.<br />I just can't tolerate violence and cruel abuses in any form,<br />especially in children. Children are so vulnerable, and they are<br />the adults of the future. So, families should protect their young ones.<br />Thank you so much for sharing this story with the world, Crystal!!<br />You are a lovely Christian lady with a caring heart.<br />Thank you also for sharing your heartfelt comments in my blogs!!<br />God may bless you all, my dear friend, Crystal!<br />Blessings,<br />Poet Starry Dawn.Starry Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15800474511554103707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3179345863797404094.post-89649459159630431032012-08-25T03:03:55.392+10:002012-08-25T03:03:55.392+10:00About 2 yrs ago when a classmate stole half of my ...About 2 yrs ago when a classmate stole half of my daughter's sandwich out of her lunchbox, my eyes were "really opened."

We happened to come when it was nap time, and as we peeked into every classroom, children slept on their cots, teachers sat quietly with the lights out, and music played softly.
