A Voice

I've been thinking about the term "A voice", John the Baptist said that he was a "voice crying in the wilderness." He was a voice announcing the coming of the Christ but was a voice disregarded by many people of that day. There are countries that do not allow a "voice" to be heard. In other places where there is freedom to "voice" or sound a opinion, they are discouraged to do so. There are people speaking for the unborn in America. Others speak out for spotted owls and other voiceless species. It is good for voices to be heard for those who are silent, whose circumstances will never allow their voices to be heard. I realize that I AM A VOICE. I speak for many important issues but have realized recently that I am a voice for 12 Orhan children in India. The voices of these kids will never be heard outside of their immediate dwellings. I am a voice not only for these kids but for the countless thousands of children who merely exist on the streets of South India. Who will speak about this issue? There are people very uncomfortable when they hear my voice speaking on the behalf of these kids but if I dont speak, WHO WILL? People don't like to hear that finances are needed to build them a home. BE Quiet, Shut UP is the unspoken response I get. Don't bother me with this, it makes me uncomfortable to know that there are people in need. I admire the voices speaking on behalf of the unborn in america and those who speak out for those whose voices are silent. I can't be quiet, I won't shut up. The need is too great to stay silent. I am a voice crying in the wilderness hoping that someone will hear my heart and help me to reach and build a home for 100 orphans in South India. Join your voice with mine and lets raise the cry together and see miracles in these kids lives. Isn't it a Joy to Serve Others?
