Children Matter.....Period - a podcast by Ronita Jackson

Have you ever heard the phrase....."Now that I have kids...."? followed by some "profound" revelation that's made the individual(s) realize how important taking care of children really is? It boggles my mind sometimes because it honestly , TO ME, seem selfish in a sense. I've never believed that a child's life or well being had to matter or be deemed important because they now belonged to me. 

It seems as if we've strayed so far away from the notion of "It takes a village to raise a child." because of the fear that bad people and their horrible actions have instilled in us and caused us to lose trust in the village. But I don't believe it's an option that should be obsolete, as long as we've put our trust in THE RIGHT PEOPLE, not just the convenient ones. Yes, my perspective is different because I don't have children (here come the folks that'll say I have no right to an opinion and yet, I'M STILL SPEAKING), but I've had the pleasure and opportunity to help and contribute to the lives of children that are not my own for the past 21 years. I love them as though they were my own, their well being, mindsets, emotions and everything about them matters as if I bore them myself. When they are with me, I care and cover them as though they are my own but the biggest part, is even when they are not in my presence, they are on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers. All children matter........period. And if your nose is turned up and you're opinion differs, I promise it's more than okay, we can agree to disagree and life will continue to go on. ;-)
