Hello Steemians,
How are you all doing, Hope you are enjoying this season of celebration? I am so glad for yet another opportunity for me to share my thoughts with all the great minds in this blockchain..
Happy Children's Day to her mother's pride (I).
WHAT IS CHILDREN'S DAY ALL ABOUT?
I will define World or Universal Children's Day as a commemorative date celebrated annually in honour of children globally, though the date of observance varies by country. It also marks the date the UN General Assembly adopted both the Declaration and the Convention on children's rights.
WHY IS UNIVERSAL CHILDREN'S DAY CELEBRATED UNIVERSALLY?
My idea on why children all over the world are celebrated atleast once in a year are as follows;
a. To promote International togetherness, awareness, among children worldwide, improving children's welfare, and to show love to every child, and also to cover up for the moments we were over busy for our kids.
b. . I see this day as a day that offers each of us an inspirational enter-point to advocate, promote and celebrate children's rights, taking actions that will build a better world for children.
c. Also, to educate the public on issues of concern, to address global problems, and to celebrate and strengthen humanity.
Myself and some kids I visited
Universal Children's Day was invented by Reverend Dr. Charles Leonard, pastor of the Universalist Church of the Redeemer in Chelsea, Massachusetts, where he held a special service dedicated to and for the children.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM CHILDREN CLOSE TO ME
As a learner, one of the people I learn from is the children. These are some of the life lessons I have learned from the awesome children around me;
Spiritual lesson: There was a time I saw my cousin acting or behaving like a favourite movie he watches (power rangers to be precise), and I got an insight which is; if he (my cousin) could act or behave like a movie he watched then if I (we) study the word of God frequently, it will get to a point I'll start believing the word of God and acting (living) the word. This lesson has helped me improve in a daily study and meditation on the word of God (bible).
Moral lesson: On this earth children are the creature's with the purest heart. By this I mean not bearing grudges, or hating on anyone, they are always playful with everyone, living their lives not hating on anyone. This moral life lesson made me have a rethink on how I see humans, by living at peace with anyone I come across with in life, not allowing my anger extend into something I will later regret because the world is a small place.
Social lessons:Growing up I observed little or younger kids play with their fellow kids around them no matter the person's background or age, this gingered me into being more social with people, and helped me fight low self esteem. This has also given me an insight that one can only make great impact by connecting with other people. For instance as a trader, I need to connect with people (the buyers) to make sales.
Children are indeed great gifts to humanity, and vessels at which God uses to teach us different lessons of life in different ways. I'll advice you to keep a keen eye on these creatures around you, I believe you will have your own insight to improve your life.
Happy Children's Day to me.
THE BEST GIFT THAT CAN BE GIVEN TO A KID THIS SPECIAL DAY.
For this special Children's Day, the special gift I think that can be given to any kid that will make him or her feel loved is giving them educational books or kiddies tapes to help improve their Mind and knowledge. I mentioned Love because it is the greatest, as it covers all things. And one of the ways to show love is by giving.
It's time for generations to come together to reimagine the type of world we want to create.
Special thanks to @bright-obias for initiating this contest, you are a good man.
