a person's a person

last evening while babysitting my younger brothers I put in the movie "Horton Hears a Who". There was a line that i loved and it hasn't left my head, "A person's a person no matter how small".
                                     
                                     
There is so much truth in this one little quote.I think it says that everyone is important and has value even if they have special needs. I'm sick of seeing kids being abandoned just because they have special needs and  its not just other countries, its in the United states too. We have thousands of kids in foster care right now its ridiculous we are so focused on our self and getting what we want right now we forget about others.

Children are blessing there's no way to hide that fact. they bring joy and love . So why should special needs kids be looked at any different?  One reason people give up there special needs because they think they are inconvenient, who would want to go to appointments, therapies, counseling, training. and even have to care for their child their whole lives:? why not? A child is a child they are not disposable they have feelings, hopes, fears, and dreams just like any other child. who cares if you care for them the rest of their lives your child is your child. what do you think will happen when your children grow old? you will skip into the sunshine and forever be happy? fat chances sorry to ruin your dreams but a child is a child and just cause they have gotten older doesn't mean you're going to love them any less.

In the United states we are raised to strive after the american dream.We are so obsessed with it we put blinders on to the suffering in the world around us.We choose to spend money on earthy possessions rather than heavenly things. we would rather right a check than get our hands dirty doing God's work. we would rather ignore and keep on scrolling cause its incontinent to our lives. In the U.S. children age out at the age of 18 with no where to go due to the foster family's not wanting to keep them any longer because their not receiving money for them, leaving them homeless and alone. Though these kids do receive college funds and money most of them are not able to handle college due to the abuse they received. the money they start receiving from the government at age 18  they soon lose because have no money handling skills. It's even worse for special needs kids thrown into over crowed group homes, nursing homes, or just plain homeless.
