"When I was a child, I spake as a child....but when I became a man I put away childish things" (1 Corinthians 13:11)
Over the years, I have noticed my parents are getting younger and younger. I have noticed parents more neglectful and self-centered than ever before. Morals and standards have officially gone out the window. A child does not ask to come into the world, so as a 'PARENT'it is our responsibility to protect and provide for this child. This means, as a parent, you put away childish things and grow up. I hurt for my 'babies', who suffer because of parental ignorance and pride. Our young parents need guidance, love and motivation; not best friends. Please let us keep our young parents in prayer...
It is sad but true Nicole. Teen pregnancy is a major epidemic and its getting worse: Babies having babies. Unfortunately a lot of young parents do not have the tools or skills to be "good" parents because they were never taught. A lot of this is generational. I truly beleive education starts in the home, but unfortuantely a lot of these babies having baies are uneducated themselves, so the burden of teaching their children falls on us. We are definetely needed!
