\"\"<\/h6>\n
Tiny fingers reach out to touch<\/h6>\n
The face of mommy and daddy\u2026<\/h6>\n
Taking baby steps they learn to walk; mimicking voices they learn to talk\u2026<\/h6>\n
Most wanted, but many rejected, who will care for those neglected?<\/h6>\n
God bless the ones with loving parents, cozy and safe, secure in their homes\u2026<\/h6>\n
While others are cast aside to roam, perilous streets\u2026preyed upon by perverts and derelicts in shadows where they meet\u2026<\/h6>\n
Then there are the children, destroyed from the womb\u2026<\/h6>\n
Torn from their mother\u2019s quiet unruly rooms\u2026<\/h6>\n
Weeping for those who cannot save themselves\u2026<\/h6>\n
Broken cisterns, empty wells\u2026<\/h6>\n
Evil, corrupting, filling hell\u2026<\/h6>\n
Angel of death soon will tell\u2026<\/h6>\n
For who the bell tolls\u2026heads are gonna roll\u2026<\/h6>\n
Who will pray for our children? Who will protect our future generations? Each child holds within its being, hope for the nations\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s said it takes a village to raise just one small child\u2026<\/h6>\n
Who is willing to take the walk with them for just one mile\u2026?<\/h6>\n
Teaching them and guiding them until they\u2019re safely grown\u2026?<\/h6>\n
You see, children are our heritage\u2026that life continues on\u2026<\/h6>\n
More important than wealth, or material gain, more precious than glory or obtaining fame\u2026Children are God\u2019s way of saying\u2026life will remain\u2026<\/h6>\n
We are guardians, stewards, parents; it is a high calling, not to be taken lightly<\/h6>\n
By blood or by adoption the call is without option\u2026<\/h6>\n
We must step up and understand\u2026Children are God\u2019s plan\u2026<\/h6>\n
God is watching and God is waiting to see what we will do\u2026<\/h6>\n
God is looking for those people, who\u2026<\/h6>\n
Will save the little children\u2026<\/h6>\n
If Jesus took the time to pray, for those little children along His way<\/h6>\n
Then we are called to let them come to Him\u2026for Heaven\u2019s Kingdom belongs to them.<\/h6>\n
Save the little children\u2026for one day they will be women and men and who knows<\/h6>\n
One of them may be the very one, to save us in the end\u2026<\/h6>\n

Matthew 19:14<\/em> International Children\u2019s Bible (ICB<\/em><\/strong>) <\/em>But Jesus said, <\/em>\u201cLet the little children come to me. Don\u2019t stop them, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to people who are like these children.\u201d<\/em><\/h6>\n
Psalm 127:3-5<\/em> New International Version (NIV) <\/em><\/strong>Children are a heritage from the <\/em>Lord<\/em>, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior<\/em> are children born in one\u2019s youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
