Ive avoided responding to the recent national news, but THIS young lady warms my heart every time.... so, Im just gonna let my thoughts flow.... Im afraid.... Im afraid that the sweet 8 yr old whos life revolves around video games, Disney Channel, WWF and type of sports- isnt prepared for the life that lies ahead for him.... Im afraid that with all that I/we teach him about whats RIGHT and WRONG still wont prepare him for the fact that he is now- and until the day God removes him from His earth- he has a target on his back because of the society that we live in.... that with all of the manners I/we instill in him, one day he may very well be faced with staring at the barrel of a gun because the person holding it felt threatened.... Im afraid that the world that he sees around us is quickly killing his innocence.... Im afraid that his perception of how to handle his frustration in situations when things dont turn out the way as expected, his thought process will lead him to destroy the community in which he lives- rather than use the knowledge around him and seek a POSITIVE expression of disappointment and ultimately a solution that betters not only himself by the community and world around him.... Im afraid that its questionable as to whether the world is actually changing for the better- and if so, for WHO?!?! I PRAY that Im/were teaching him the value of his vote (and its NOT just to make sure that we have a BLACK person is in office) and that his voice and purpose in life should be used to evoke change in a society where they see him as the enemy..... Im afraid that Im losing my son to YOU.... So- Ill continue to pray.... for ALL of my sons.... #theVillagewillprevail youtu.be/cooCQwGGw0g
