American Prosperity : Are the Souls of Our Children the Cost?

What’s it gonna take for us mere humans to recognize the fact that our children are the most precious commodity in our sinful world of today? Oh sure, we concentrate on the worldly possessions on a regular basis, such as the elegant homes, our flashy cars, and lets not forget the ultimate euphoria which consists of constantly impressing our next door of neighbors. Meanwhile our children are subjected daily to modern day abandonment due to the fact that we as parents are so busy, busy, busy, making a living.

We work desperately to keep up with the Jones’, only to find out that the most important people in the world, our little ones, are left all alone with their new bikes, high tech toys, and all the candy and ice cream they can manage to fit in their pockets.

We need to shine a spotlight on the fact that we as parents neglect the most important aspect of parenthood; which in case you need to be reminded is availability. Who’s gonna pick that child up off the ground when he falls off of that new bike? Not to mention the fact that he or she hasn’t been hugged all day, and that strawberry ice cream that was in his pocket has managed to work its way down to his socks. Where is the Jesus in this picture, if I may ask?

Well thank God for Set Free Ministries in San Diego for coming to the rescue of many parents and their children’s desperate, dire need for love, affection and most importantly companionship with Jesus Christ. Oh sure, Elvis may have left the building, but Jesus Christ showed up.
Our ministry targets the dysfunctional families, including single parents, addicts of all walks of life seeking God’s guidance for a better spiritual way of life. This is Boot camp. Trained to serve Jesus, and all the children here are loved and cared for and given the much needed attention they where denied when we were in our muck and mire.

Once a week for a special treat, we have what we call “The Jesus House Party” where all the kids of every nationality you can think of come together in a playground setting and are showered with love, games, bible scriptures and teachings, and of course lets not forget, ice cream in a bowl!

I thank God for this ministry, because all children of the world are innocent bystanders, arriving in this wicked world by no choice of their own and are entitled to a decent Godly childhood. There is not a daycare center or a local babysitter on the planet that can compare to the childcare these precious gems are experiencing through the grace of God here at Set Free Ministries.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone that Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream, so I would guess, that these kids here have finally given Martin the right to smile, and if God wills it to be, finally to wake up and smell the roses. What an awesome God we serve, who will never allow us parents, to have our children take a back seat on the road to prosperity.
