15 Minutes A Day

As I tended my three yr old brother to bed, looking at his sleeping face, I felt a deep sense of sadness. Although he is sad that he has to go to bed without mom, who is at work, I wondered how many children in the world, the same age as him, perhaps born on the same day, must spend tonight in an environment without anyone to really love them. Many will have no one to guide them through their childhood and help them make the right decisions. To me, this seems a terrible waste of life: a waste of a child's future. Because of their parents selfishness and/or recklessness, they must suffer the consequences of a fault that they did not commit-which the world has unreasonably thrust upon them to bear. They must live a life without love, without a home, without a mother-the most important person in their lives. No wonder such a great percentage of foster/orphaned children grow up to become criminals/delinquents of society : the world has never been kind to them. They become misanthropes. I wonder why.
I resolve to whittle this problem at the roots and open an orphanage someday, like George Muller. I hope to organize several events to help orphaned children within the course of this year. I will pray daily for God's guidance.  Although I have a Very Tight Schedule (3 hrs of sleep/day on average)
In 15 Minutes a Day: I'll See What I Can Do
1) I can Save 15% or More on Car Insurance-(Nah)
2) I can research various activities that will help orphaned children
3) I can read articles on how to open orphanages
4) I can petition to various charities or religious organizations to support my idea
