Children are never very far from the hearts and minds of their parents, family members, friends and others.
Many thoughts that we have about children concern their general well being, as well as their ongoing need for love, nurturing and protection.
The recent kidnapping of a young boy taken from his home in Sparwood, B.C. brought this to light, once again. Thankfully, this child has now been returned to his parents and family, unharmed.
The kidnapping suspect has been taken into custody and is scheduled for a psychiatric assessment, in the near future.
One of the reasons we think about children on a daily basis is because in some ways, in our own minds, we tend to think like children. We are children at heart in many ways and can relate to their fears, as well as their joys and sorrows.
Almost everyone loves children and wants what is the best for them.
I can relate to the scenario of a missing child, as my youngest brother disappeared at approximately the same age. What a frightening time that was for everyone! Thankfully, he was found within a few hours, unharmed and sound asleep on long grass in a swampy area, within a half mile of our home.
Blessed is the child who is raised by parents and others, in a safe and happy home, where he or she is loved.
