I just read a heart wrenching story of a child who has been in foster care for 8 years, but the court has now taken the child away and given her back to the biological parents . The biological parents gave up the girl when she was an infant and she was with her foster family from that time until now. These custody cases can become very complicated, but it seems the needs of the children often tend to get lost in the process.
As horrible as these situations are, they can't even compare to the tragedy of spiritual neglect of our children. I fear that so many parents have become so caught up in their children's education, sports, piano lessons, clubs, etc., that they don't have time to put the proper emphasis on the child's spiritual development.
Please don't let "life" get in the way of meeting the real needs of the children. They deserve our attention and must be recognized as the priority that they are. Their spiritual welfare must come first.
