I have tried to get on here and write more about what is going on, but to no avail. I can't seem to find time to just have a few minutes alone. I wonder how I did it way back when I had two small boys, a full time job and a house hold to run? I played on two soft ball leagues a week on top of all that..HOW in the world did I do it? Whow knows, for now I'm too old to remember. But I have found myself wanting to get back on here and catch up on writing what is happening to my life. I am a 57 yr. old grandmother, not in terrible shape, but it could be a whole lot better, trying to raise my 8 yr. old granddaughter that is diagnosed with RAD, ODD, ADHD and PTSD. I think I've explained to you what RAD and ODD are. I think you've heard of PTSD and ADHD. RAD is one of the most awful diagnoses a child can be given when they are in such a young stag of their lives. It is reactive attachment disorder. That means as a baby these kids, babies as you'd call them, were left by themselves in a crib, on the floor, in a box, just left unattended all the time without any human bond. It is an amazing thing, the touch of a human to another human. It may not seem like much, but yes, indeed it is a very heart renching, life saving ordeal for a small child to go through. A baby must first of all be thought of as a gift from God. If they aren't what are they exactly? Not something that can be just left laying around and not bothered with. Another human life is something we always should cherish. I will have no part of any conversation where you say you don't care about anyone. You know you're telling a lie. If you don't truely care about someone, how can you call yourself a christian? You know that God gave his only begotton son up for us. How can we let our own flesh and blood just sit around and be ignored? You can't that is why. You need to take that newborn baby and nuroish it, love it like you've never ever laid eyes on them. Even though they are your own flesh and blood, you can' t just simply ignore their basic needs and wants. You have a baby in your arms, and all you can think about, or shall I say all your should think about is what a beautiful gift it is from God.
How did I get off on this subject? I don't know, guess it was just on my mind and I had to let it out. I wish that people would see that it takes a village to raise children. I mean, with everything going on in the world, as it is today, it takes each and everyone of us to insure that we nurture each child that we come across. If we don't, what do our own children expect in their future? They won't know to grow up and nurture others and you know before too long, the process of even loving someone else will be an after thought. Try your best this week, when you come across a child, tell them something good about themselves. If you're their parent, take some time with them, nurture them as much and as often as you can. If they (the child) belongs to someone else, say you don't know them, but just see them in passing. Stop, ask the parent how they are doing, when you see the child, say something good to that child to let them know they are here for a purpose. Let the parent know you care too. If you see that parent in the store with a crying child, try to offer a little help to the parent, even if it is just trying to entertain the child for a brief moment to make them stop crying. You'll be surprised how that one second you distract them will help them stop their crying and focus their attention on what you're staying or doing. The parent will be thankful, the patrons in the store will be so thankful, and you get that warm and fuzzy feeling you've accomplished something, even if it were for a brief second. You can make a difference in a child's life, even if it is for a little while. I'll be hoping to see the children in my children's church class tomorrow. I hope they are there ready to learn, or at least listen. I hope the parents continue to bring them, as the parents can get refreshed by feeling Jesus wash over them with relief and their children will learn what Jesus is all about and learn that HE is the one they should belive in. HE is their father in heaven and they should abide by HIS laws. They should follow what their parents are telling them and trying to teach them. I pray that the children will continue to want to learn and want to listen to the word of God and what he has to say to each and everyone of us. God Bless you all today....
