Children are very resiliant and adaptable. I believe that as long as a child receives love and attention from the parents they can adjust to other circumstances no matter how tough they may be.

It does take time though and I think that is where Sister Alvear's granddaughter is at right now. A time of grieving over unwanted change in her life. Hopefully her parents will make it an adventure for her and soon the good will outweigh the bad.

I think the question is are the parents called?? If they are called, God will provide. If not, they will have to answer for what was lacking.

I think the bold part says it all. I heard a story once of a father that included his children in everything that he did. They were part of his life, not just in his life. He wasn't a Christian when his children were young and he did drugs. His children did them too. Not advocating that children do drugs just making a point. Whatever he did his children did too. When he became a Christian his children were in their teen years, but there was no question they became Christians too. They loved and respected him because when they were little they were little people to him not just kids.

A lot of times children get in the way and are sent out to play when they should be learning to be an adult. Which is what they crave.

God knows who to send.Sister Alvear you are my kind of woman.I promise you there is more to be afraid of in the city then out in the jungle.Here we
just call them seriel killers.There you at least know what you are up against.



I moved a family several times.The daughter had about three card board boxes of nothing while the mama ran around all night with men smoking crack.
You could say she was accomplishing her mission.The child with christian parents however who lacks a few material things has something bigger.She
has God and with him anything is possible.
