COMMUNITY WATCH

Are the children in your community just kids?

Joyce K. Marin

It might appear that children are the least powerful people in society. They have no money, no connections, no positions of influence. They are smaller than, and not as strong as, adults. They don't have titles or make decisions about law or commerce. Adults sometimes treat them as if they don't exist, minimizing them by saying things like "They're just children."

Children, however, are whole individuals, fully capable of expressing God's goodness. As such, they are able to make meaningful contributions to our world. As the image, or idea, of God, divine Mind, everyone can express intelligence, clear thinking, and inspiration. As the reflection of Love, we all can sincerely express care for our fellowman. All individuals, including children, who express these qualities, bring the leavening, healing influence of Christ to their own lives and to their communities.
