This lady above, with broad smiles, is looking after 14 Orphans. She is one of many with little or no income who look after orphans in their own homes. She has not given birth to any of these children, they are all abandoned. The children cannot attend school because of limited income and resources. All around the world this is the case, yet so much money is expended on unnecessary things to gratify selfishness.
People are always asking, “why are they having children if they cannot afford to support them?” Good question, but the little children are not responsible, they are victims of actions and behavior over which they have no control.
These unfortunate children are still the heritage of God and should be trained and guided to be as plants in the garden of God.
To many God gives children as a blessing in disguise and temporal good. To many others he gives material blessings: houses, lands, plenty money and great assets, but with such blessings no children. The poor man has from God many children, yet no money; these are his inheritance; and God shows himself their father, feeding and supporting them by miraculous providences.
The fruitful family, however poor belongs to God. “Children are a heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 127:3 He who gave them will feed them, but you and me might just be that channel of support to provide school and support for the poor.
