We Were Born To Shine!

There is such joy at the birth of a newborn child.

Such hope for the future of each child!

As the saying goes, “We are born to shine,” but not all of us realize that high aspiration.

What goes wrong along the way?

Perhaps the child grows up in an impoverished family that cannot provide the parental support system required in the early years.

Perhaps the child is brought up in an under-performing school system that can’t equip the child to compete for a decent job.

Perhaps internal strife between the parents traumatizes the child to an extent that they become depressed and anxious about the future.

Perhaps the child becomes greatly influenced by the wrong peer group and chooses the wrong path.

Let’s face it.

The joy of birth and the responsibilities of parenthood are two very different things.

And we’re always a parent who must always be available to our children whether they’re 5 or 50.

God bless the parent and the child!
