DARE TO BE LEGENDARY!!!

"If you have no charity in your hearts, you have the worst kind of heart and you must begin your treatment today"


A CASE FOR THE MOTHERLESS.


Let us examine, for a while, the plight of the motherless babies for which I have some passion. We may be privileged to determine whether they deserve our consideration or our rehabilitation.


We have a baby born alive and well. A little temple of the living God with active body, innocent soul and vibrant spirit. It began with its journey, a long and turbulent trip, with attendant deprivation and desolation, needing desperate help and persistent support from strangers, all the way through.


This is the story of a typical motherless baby:

Surely, she had a mother at birth as no one ever saw her drop from the sky. She discovered as soon as she arrived that the loving welcome was not available, that parents, especially her precious mother carrying the food, had gone. There would be no siblings, no naming and no care.


She came into a world where many married couples would pay any price, where many anxious infertility customers would organize elaborate thanksgiving for having a baby like her.


She is not so lucky:


She is the offspring of a parent that needed no child, a mother that was not ready. The pregnancy, labour and delivery was hated, her existence was considered a bad mistake. Her mother, therefore made up her mind to throw this glorious gift of the womb away and sacrifice her destiny.


She was therefore abandoned either in the gutter, a hospital bed or corridor, a church or at the gate of an orphanage. Many children like her failed to survive, but seen this way, she is extremely lucky. The angels, for once, seem to line up on her side. She arrives safely at the motherless babies home very vulnerable, fragile and desolate.


This will be her home, a home far away from her father, a home where there is no mother. The one with whom she had spent the last nine months, had gone away leaving her at the mercy of a total stranger. She went away with the breast that should have fed her.


Our little baby must therefore contend with food from the breast of a cow. The fragile body, after going through the harsh treatment received from the gutter, begins to demand for medical treatment. Somebody of a large heart must come to make funds available for the medical bill and to run her new home. She soon notices that there are dozens of other children of similar fate who had arrived before her, who would henceforth be her siblings.


Our baby soon grows older to accept her fate. She begins to pray that more strangers, fathers and mothers who have received God's blessings , will arrive to meet some, if not all of her needs. She does not know where the rich and the blessed are located and why so few of them are coming, nor will she consider how or where they share their blessings.


A stitch in time saves nine:


I prescribe a visit to one of these homes, that you get the list of their needs, provide a few and surrender some cash. A little donation will go a long way to help them, and even a longer way to heal your heart.


I can confirm that the motherless do not need our pity. Our sympathy will do them no benefit. They will however, profit immeasurably from our provisions and cash. The umbrella father and the general overseer mother cannot work well if all we do is shower praises and credit for having a noble calling, they need rains of cash and flood of provisions.


What position are you occupying today? Can such position profit the motherless? Can they lean on you?


Wisdom teaches that the hand that gives gathers and that 90% of wisdom consists in being wise in time.


A reasonable thing will be to seek the demand of these children. The need to contribute to their welfare and survival is becoming more pertinent than ever so don't hesitate to supply some of their needs.


We are told that an effective pill swallowed tomorrow cannot heal the headache of today and that medicine offered after death is just as worthless as a vigorous campaign organized right after the general elections. This is why time is of essence in this flow of kindness.


Give now, today. Give regularly. Reach out to the nearest motherless home in your environment –
