In my prayer time I have a group of friends I lift up to the Lord. In many cases that involves their children. Some of them I have never seen. Others I watched grow up. This smaller group has so much to offer yet seem to be content with comfort and prosperity. They are wonderful human beings. You would love to live next to them. They pay their bills, don’t litter or play loud music late at night. I imagine they would gladly help a little old lady across the street. But they are not making any difference.
My children have taken stands. They are making a difference. They have threatened to write me out of their wills if I talk about them in public so you will have to trust me. It is possible that you would never notice what they are doing. I like to think that the children of my friends are the same way, I just don’t see what they are doing.
If we want our country to survive we are going to need more people taking stands. They don’t need to be splashy, just real.
There is hope for the future.

Yeah, my kid is taking stands which I don't agree with. Don't know where she picked up the line of BS.
ReplyDeleteAs a former public school teacher I would say from the public schools.
ReplyDeleteAs a graduate of a Christian college I would say from their pseudo-Christian professors.
As a seminary graduate and ten years a full time pastor I would say from the pulpits.
I know where it comes from. What I can't figure out is how the influence of so many parents has been set aside so easily. You are not alone.
Keep living as you should. Keep praying. It is really in God's hands and our children are given the ability and responsibility to make their own decisions.
At least she is still talking to you and coming home.
Grace and peace
