I Have A Dream

Today our country honored and memorialized Martin Luther King Jr.  His greatest speech, "I Have A Dream" speaks to me in many ways.  One of his greatest desires was for his children to be able to accomplish their dreams and hopes for the future.  He knew that in order to do that they had to have equal opportunities in education.     This is something that certainly every parent, grandparent or guardian hopes for their children in order that they may achieve their goals.   It makes me think of what I pray for our children.  The little song that I learned in Sunday School many years ago talks about God's love for all children.

Jesus loves the little children,
All the children of the world,
Red, brown, yellow, black and white
They are precious in His sight
Jesus loves the little children of the world.

My Dreams for Our Children

• Every child receives love and encouragement from their parents and teachers.
• Every child receives the best education possible.
• Every child receives the proper food and clothing needed.
• Every child is nurtured in a loving environment and never faces the wrath of an angry parent, step-parent or grandparent.
• Every child is given the opportunity to have the best health care available.
• Every child has a home and does not have to live in the streets or shelters.

Tonight I say a prayer for the children of the world.  They are certainly precious in God's sight.  God protect our children!


Quote of the Day - Martin Luther King Jr.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.”

POTD - This photo wasn't actually made today (but this past weekend) but I thought it was most applicable to today's theme.   Although she's very young she is so blessed to have all the things that every child in this world deserves.
