€€€The birth of a child may be inconsequential to the world.

€€€After all, thousands of children are born every day. However for
€€€family the birth of a child always turns out to be an event of great
€€€transcendence.
€€€This birth can result from planned or accidental pregnancy.
€€€No matter if it was planned or accidental, usually the newborn baby
€€€born is received with great joy. Parents are filled with hope
€€€before the birth of their children. Always expect the best for them,
€€€we will grow, be educated and become citizens
€€€individuals, successful professionals.
€€€In my childhood almost all parents dreamed that their children be doctors
€€€when they grew up. At that time it was fashionable on television
€€€Dr. Ben Casey program. Almost all parents want their children
€€€would like Dr. Casey. It was not uncommon to receive for Christmas gift
€€€a team of doctor's kit. The truth is that some of those children
€€€became doctors, but others were lawyers, accountants,
€€€secretaries, teachers / teachers, carpenters, masons, pilots, drivers,
€€€artists, etc.. Others were thieves, murderers, criminals, vagabonds,
€€€etc.
€€€Is that when a child is born we know nothing about their future. We know thei
r sex,
€€€weight, height. You may already know his name, but it is impossible
€€€know what the future holds.
€€€To the desire that our child to reach the highest goals, we seek
€€€offer the best that is within our grasp. A good education,
€€€good health, love and understanding. But the truth is that even though
€€€our best efforts, sometimes we get great surprises.
€€€We live in a world where evil abounds, where the temptations are just
€€€around the corner.
€€€When a child is born the world will know as to which is to be
€€€face. When I was born the world was very different from what has touched me
€€€adult life. I was born in the midst of a more innocent, more peaceful. A
€€€world where material goods were less abundant but where respect,
€€€peace and love.
€€€Even my children have lived in a world that has changed significantly in rece
nt
€€€years. They face a world of crime, immorality, an
€€€world of material and spiritual instability. A world full of destruction.
€€€It is impossible to know how our kids react to the temptations
€€€the world. The best we can do is prepare spiritually for
€€€resist the temptation and pray to God to give them wisdom
€€€necessary to choose the right path. How sad is to see a child fall before
€€€temptation. How sad to see our dreams, our hopes
€€€destroyed.
€€€But how beautiful is to see when our children succeed and rise and
€€€Targets that parents want for them.
€€€Two thousand years ago a child born in the small town of Bethlehem. For the w
orld
€€€birth would have been more. But the child was not a child again, that
€€€child would transform the world.
€€€It was an unplanned pregnancy by their earthly fathers. However, it was the
€€€better planned pregnancy history. So well planned was that
€€€from many years ago had already been announced. So well planned was
€€€his sex and name were known in advance. It would be called Jesus, the
€€€savior of the world. His parents would not have to worry about the future of
€€€that child. His profession was already predetermined. It would be a
€€€profession than anyone before or after exercise He, because He alone
€€€was able to exercise it. It would be the promised Messiah, the Savior of
€€€world, the King of kings and Lord of lords.
€€€That child grew in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and
€€€men (Luke 2:52). He lived among us only thirty-three
€€€years, of which only three of them during exercise his ministry.
€€€He did not have great material resources, did not travel great distances. Not
€€€was supported by a large army. Only twelve men with him,
€€€one of whom betrayed him and the other eleven he was left alone in time
€€€more difficult.
€€€However, despite these difficulties this child was and is the
€€€most powerful man has set foot on earth. His life has
€€€transformed to everyone who knew him. No other man has
€€€impacted both humanity as one who was born two thousand years ago in
€€€that manger.
€€€In these difficult days, we pray that our children are filled
€€€of Jesus Christ. To allow Him to direct your steps. For
€€€follow their example of love.
€€€Only then can we be sure that our children will live a
€€€prosperous life and end of your days will reach the highest goal, the
€€€salvation of their souls.
