GOD WILL MAKE A WAY FOR ALL THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD

In my last blog posting I shared our experience with the little butterfly that shared our dorm with us for a few days, as she could or did not want to fly away, because, externally, you could not see any reason for her not to.

This way, she was so similar to so many abused and abandoned children, beautiful on the outside, but bleeding and needing tenderness and protection inside.

Unfortunately, the little butterfly could not live long. Having to travel from Guatemala to El Salvador for my second granddaughter 17 birthday celebration, I was recommended to leave her among the flowers in my son Victor´s home, where, supposedly, she would be warm and safe.

That night temperature dropped to 12 centigrade’s and she died, possibly not because of the cold weather but from the lack of the home warmth she had enjoyed for a few days.

Similarly, I am firmly convinced, children, more than material and external comfort, what they really need most is home warmth, feeling accepted and loved, feeling they have the right to a second chance in life, all available material comfort included, because, I feel, children do not need to feel as an orphan, nor treated as one, nor being subject to any adult´s decision detrimental to their right to receive all and everything that can be given to them. There is, never, such thing as too much!

This conviction has led me to think that, even if the little butterfly died from cold she, from that moment on started to feel the warmness that only her Creator, not anyone of us, can give her, and similarly, every child will feel that warmth without having to die first.

God will make a way for every child, where and when it could seem impossible to find a way because of our insufficient understanding of the privilege and blessing of being able to love, protect, care and take care of, and give the best and most abundant to all the children He places in our paths.

Because they deserve it! They are the apples of the eyes of God! Consequently, they should be the apples of our eyes, too! Mathews 18: 6, 10
