Kwanzaa ( Collective Work and Responsibility)

endarkenment.com
Today is the third day of Kwanzaa which is celebrated as Ujima. That is collective work and responsibility. We all know the talk shows where the paternity test is given and the host states who is the father of a child. We watch the mothers run off in disbelief. This makes entertainment for some people. However, are we helping these men and mothers take responsibility for their actions?  It takes a village to raise a child. These couples have fun creating a child, but they need to have the same amount of fun when they raise the child. Educators, caregivers, and religious leaders alike have an influence on a child's upbringing.  The church needs to be a reliable safe haven for youth in other areas outside of traditional ministry and church services. Our great collective responsibility is to do the very best we can to band together to develop our young men and women.
