JEREMIAH's PRAYER (in sketch)

O LORD HAVE MERCY,

MAKE ME A NICE KID!

(Jeremiah learned this prayer when he was in Day Care.

At home, when he feel like praying; he would tell us

to be silent as he he pray)

WE THANK YOU LORD

FOR THE GIFTS WE RECEIVED

THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD AMEN!

(Jeremiah's shortened version of Prayer before meals)

JEREMIAH's VIEW OF CREATION

(He believed that GOD made all things, so he begun

drawing all kinds of creatures. Among them were

an Angel, a man at the back of a cow or buffalo,

bird, geraffe, zebra, horse, dog, a house,

dolphin, fishes and stars).

The HOLY FAMILY

(Papa Joseph, Baby Jesus & Mama Mary)

Jeremiah made a sketch of Jesus Crucified,

St. Michael with sword, a dove carrying flower

as it descend near the Church.

"AS LONG AS YOU DID IT TO THE LEAST OF ALL...YOU DID IT UNTO ME"!!

I was coming out of a reataurant in Zamboanga City, Southwestern Philippines when I noticed three kids sitting in the pavement asking something from people passing nearby.I took a closer look and they noticed me, and asked them "What it is that you're asking from people passing here?", the older among them replied "We're asking some coins in order to have something to buy food".While some would say that this is an isolated case, the situation where these kids are now, is a sign of deprivation. They should not be begging for food but in school or in the house being taken cared of by parents or guardians.Child poverty reflects an ailing society...an ailing world! If only I am rich, I could help them in whatever possible that I could.Before we parted ways, I went back to the restaurant and bought food for the three of them. They happily shared the meal and thanked me for being kind.RIGHT TO FOOD and RIGHT TO EDUCATION, these are inherent rights of children that governments and organizations must ensure.While 3$ or 3Euros seems so little in affluent society, they can help make a difference in the lives of abandoned children in the Philippines and other third world countries.3$ or 3Euros can feed an undernourished child and support his/her school needs for a day!It only take a little kindness to make a concrete effort in helping children in difficult situations around the globe. We can be the change we want in the world.How about you?

Jesus said: "AS LONG AS YOU DID IT TO THE LEAST OF ALL...YOU DID IT UNTO ME".
