This report of statistics was done in 1995. Almost 20 years ago. If you have a child be a part of his/her life. Its interesting to think, if we actually took God and His commands seriously, what kind of world this would be..
If you are a single mother, I pray that you would pray and seek God above all. Make wise decisions with the use of your time and pray that God would put you in a position to find a man who loves God, more than he loves himself, in your child’s life. A man like Jesus..
If you are a single father put yourself in a position to give time to your child. Raise him and love him in such a way that he will live to reflect the image of Christ..
Proverbs 22:6 – Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Grace and Peace
