THE HUNGRY CHILD

THE HUNGRY CHILD

There are many cruelties of this world and the one I focus on is the malnourished/starving child.  We are wasteful of food, to not eating left overs, throwing away food because we can and the list goes on.  We are blind or refuse to accept we are responsible for at least care of one child who is malnourished/starving.  These children are not expecting a gourmet expensive meal they need food that is good for them.  Their bellies are empty.  

Our hearts should have a compassionate and kind deposition, one of anguish to see the effects of undernourishment/starvation on a child who goes to sleep food-less.  Whatever, the excuse not to help at least one child daily has no merit?  I can say this without listening to the excuses of why unless you, yourself is in this same situation. 

There is a perception that money given to help children through some organizations whom are designated to receive food may not be getting it.  However, search other avenues by going to local schools, church or groups finding out who these children are and buy the groceries yourself for them. 

We all can find excuses not to feed a malnourished/starving child however, before God we serve is our excuse going to be valid?

RAPE

The horrific violation of one’s person is the action of rape. It is without a doubt the single action that not only effects the body but the heart and soul of the one being violated. It is difficult even now to understand the actions, mind set and the heart of one whom commits the heinous act of violating another’s body. Although these persons are human one cannot see them but as animals dark in nature without redemption and yet we are mandated from our Lord to forgive…MARK 11:25 “And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.” However, it well to note here we are forgiven by our Lord when we ask for forgiveness with a repentant and contrite heart as should the rapist seek this same road of forgiveness towards those whom have been violated. Rape is not an easy course of securing justice for the violator. Often times the history of the life of the violated is so scrutinized it leaves one to wo

RETURNING

  It has been at least four years since I have written anything.  My mission life came to a halt in 2018 when I became very ill while in India.  I spent two and half months in a hospital in India with a 5% chance of survival from my surgery and a 5% chance of surviving Critical Care.  I received amazing care. I was sent back to the states for further treatment especially since I lost my ability to walk.  It was physiological.  It took 9 months before I could walk but walk I did.  The surgery left me with a Colostomy which was troublesome, to say the least.  However, in June of this year, I had a colostomy reversal which was a success and all is back to normal.  I am in a Nursing Home with other medical issues.  It took me until now to accept my life here.  I am in a private room which allows me my quiet, prayer time, crocheting and interacting with friends in the home.   I decided this morning to go back to writing...I hope you will take this journey with me.   Linda Mary Liotino
