I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Whether they hail from different cultures, countries or faiths, children are children.

Children learn what they live.

There are those who want to believe but can't, and there are those who believe as children and it's no problem for them at all.

Children give life a reason to be - they make life.

Children touch all of our lives. We all have the opportunity to sow seeds into the next generation, and there's nothing more important that we can leave on this earth than a legacy of faith, hope, and confidence in our God.

Children are our future, and God loves the children.

Children are free moral agents and have a right to be exposed to a range of beliefs well beyond the rigid doctrinal confines of their parent's faith, and we have an obligation to insist that they be so exposed, at least in public schools, if not elsewhere.

Seeing to it that a youngster grows up believing not just in the here and now but also in the grand maybes of life guarantees that some small yet crucial part of him remains forever a child.

In our country today, very few children are raised to believe that their principal destiny is to serve their family, their country, or God.
