Gendercide

I chose to write about gendercide because it is a topic that I found very disturbing and something that needs to be prayed for. I can't even imagine any parent doing what these people do to their children. The parents in many nations throughout the world kill there baby girls because they want sons. There is an estimated 100 million baby girls missing in the world. This happens a lot in China and Northern India where having a daughter is a bad thing to have happened to you. There is a Hindu saying "Raising a daughter is like watering your neighbor's garden." In China a baby girl was born and the father said "useless thing" and next thing you know, you see a babies foot sticking out of a slop pail. This is DISGUSTING! It is very hard to even think about! It is interesting to realize that if I were born into a family in China that could have been me! I am so blessed to be born into the family I have and where I am. We often take advantage of where we are and the blessings God has given us. We need to think and pray about the purposes for our lives and be open to what God has planned for us.
