THE UNKNOWN

Today the most astounding thoughts or shall I say the most revolting thoughts crossed my mind ie our future generation.Two evenings ago a few educators were so engrossed in a topic, which unknown to them, were very dear to my heart.They were unaware of the affect this subject had on me that I silently went in prayer, not realizing that they too served this great God. Priscilla, the more bolder of the three educators, were commenting about the future of our children in twenty or even less years.As they young teachers, in their thirties,my thoughts were...They young and why such a great concern for generations to come? Where was all this leading to?...Thalidomide babies...this word shooked me.Yes we heard what happened to those babies born between 1954 and 1974.Their moms,during pregnancy, were prescribed thalidomide, a drug, to alleviate morning sickness.Most of these babies were born deformed .Did the state take care of them as nothing was ever heard or seen of these children to date,A few are still alive today in the UK and USA,living with their deformities.Thalidomide was a legalised drug though.....Now the METHAMPHETAMIDE CRYSTAL BABIES...TIK. generation of the future. They being, qualified remedial educators,in unison, voiced their fears for their proffession, regarding the babies born to drugaddict moms.The one explained about the low dopermide level of these kids , how they only have a 5opercent usage of emotions and the low developement of these babies brains. One exclaimed loudly....Lord I trust you for a miracle now on these childrens lives,as Ill be too old , when they start schooling...These discussions really ripped through my whole being.These babies will be or are already schooling.So how are they going to grasp any simple educational skills? or will they be maintained by state or also shoved away in unknown institutions?These children destroyed by tik. As this demon... Tik... has been destroying lives as far as it could extend its hand, leaving death,retarded young men and women and traumatised families in its wake. Now this!!! ...Generations of the future, doomed before their lives even started. This merciful God has really the power to restore the fear in the hearts of all those who feel these no hope.Prayers and more determination on our parts as christians will bring at least a ray of hope.
