True Words From a Teenager on International Women's Day

One of my step-daughters is only a few weeks away from her 14th birthday. Recently, she had to write a short statement to read in her 8th grade health class. Today is International Women's Day, a day that celebrates womanhood. Although my step-daughter is still 4 years away from becoming an adult, I want to share with you her writing... because she is currently a small point of light in the world and I believe one day she will shine so bright that her words and actions will effect positive change in whatever her heart is convicted to focus on. So, please read these wise words of a young teenage girl -- who will one day be speaking from her heart as a woman in a world that desperately needs people like her.
Life is more than just a 'cereal.' It is more than just a 'game.' Life is a gift, and sometimes we forget that. People take their life for granted. People will take their own life -- and even other lives -- away because they don't respect themselves and others. You need to appreciate yourself and others. You are important enough to be alive today. Each individual makes up earth. Without us, there is nothing. We are the pinnacle of intelligent life on earth. There has been a rise in abortions the past few decades. Researchers find abortion is the leading cause of death, surpassing heart disease and cancer. If we are killing babies before they even experience life, then we don't respect life. If we don't respect our own lives, then how do we expect to take care of our own planet and other life forms? If we can't respect life, then there's no basis to respect and love anything. So, let's learn from the candy and not be life takers, but instead be 'life savers.'

From Him, Through Him, For Him (Romans 11:36),

Paul J. Staso
