I feel so many of us have
lost the true meaning of
Easter. If, just one person
may understand the pain
God felt giving his son, to
save our lowly souls, this
page will have been worth it.
How did the crucifixion and
resurrection, of our Savior, turn
into a silly bunny, jelly beans
and a fashion show at church?
God help us. Children learn what
they are taught. May God forgive
us. I am guilty, too.
TEACH THEM ABOUT THE
PAIN AND SUFFERING
JESUS WENT THROUGH,
TO SAVE OUR SOUL'S.
LIVE WITH A CLEAR
CONSCIENCE. SOMEDAY
YOU WILL HAVE TO ANSWER
FOR YOUR NEGLIGENCE.
John 3:16
For God so loved the world,
that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life.
Well, I may as well get up on
my soapbox and really say
what I mean. In the beginning,
WHY weren't children taught
that Easter was celebrated
because Christ arose? There is
no reason they couldn't have
been told that they were going
to receive a basket with candy,
and were going to get some
new Easter clothes, so that
Jesus would be happy to see
them dressed up. MY, would
that have been so difficult?
However, it had to be a Big
Bunny with big floppy ears,
sneaking around the house,
in the middle of the night, to
do this. WHY? Yes, for tiny
tots, it may be fun, but when
they are old enough to understand
it should be STOPPED! When they
are 3 and 4, they are on the
computer. By 8 and 9 they are
looking for porn. Yet we still
think they belive in the
EASTER BUNNY~~~ NOT!
Who's fooling who?
Now while I am at it, I did,
and do give my Children
gifts for Christmas. We
have the same thing going
here. Why bother to tell little
children, that some big fat
obese jelly belly is going to
come down a hot chimney,
that is one tenth his size to
land in a hot fireplace, bringing
toys? Yes, I did it, too. Why
not just tell them from the
beginning that Jesus was born
on this day, and we want to
celebrate his birth by sharing gifts?
Gracious, they wouldn't care
as long as they got the toys.
I may as well finish. WHY do
we as parent's and grandparent's
feel that we have to spend, spend,
till there is almost nothing left,
buying EXPENSIVE toys they
don't even appreciate? I
remember when I was a child,
I received some socks, pajamas,
coloring books, and crayons, a
few books some games and a
baby doll. In my stocking, I got
oranges, apples, some walnuts
and perhaps some pretty hair clips.
We DON'T do that anymore. We
are obligated to buy technical toys
that are $300 and more, even a
silly $100 plastic seat to sit in,
while they annihilate the world
in front of a television screen.
This is just for starters. Do you
think your children love you more?
Of course not. You just feel less
guilty for not spending time with
them. Give THEM YOUR TIME
THEY WANT, NOT YOUR MONEY!
Little girls have to have $50 ovens,
heated by light bulbs, and $50
worth of cake mix to do this.
Then they have to have expensive
minature kitchens, that gets thrown
in the corner a week after Christmas,
along with the $100 babydoll. Oh,
all this just touches the tip of the
iceberg. We ALL know this, but
we keep on. GIVE THEM
YOUR LOVE, NOT MONEY!
Actually what is, is lack of LOVE in
the home, and parents think that
spending , money is a sign of
untold love for their off spring.
BUZZZZ, WRONG ANSWER.
Do they take the time to take their
children to church, or spend an
evening playing some fun games
with them, and perhaps having
pop corn? When was the last time
YOU and your kids made homemade
fudge, or went out for an ice
cream cone, after supper? Hummm,
It hits home, doesn't it? Yes,
making fudge could still be in style!
Remember they are little adults,
in the making.
Just ask yourself,
then there will be
no wonder the
world is
in the shape it is in!
Children NEED your time, and
attention, not things. MOTHERS
TAKE YOUR CHILDREN
SHOPPING, DADS TAKE YOUR
CHILDREN FISHING, OR TO
THE GOLF COURSE. BE A PART
OF THEIR LIVES. MAKE SOME
MEMORIES FOR THEM TO
CHERISH SOMEDAY, WHEN
YOU ARE GONE.
You say, "THEY DON'T BEHAVE?
Well WHO'S fault is that? Teach
them to behave, and NOT SASS.
If necessary apply some pressure
to the behind. The Bible says,
SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL
THE CHILD. Remember, no one
likes a whiny, sassy child.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN ABUSE, EITHER.
YES, it does work.
I raised two daughters,
and neither of them sassed
I very gently told
them they HAD to be
good, and very quiet
in church. They were.
I could take them
anyplace, and not be
ashamed of them. If
I can, so can YOU.
All right, I am off my soap box,
till I get my ministers license.
Now while you may not agree,
please respect my point of view.
.
"Thanks for your time".
I CARE FOR YOU, AND OUR CHILDREN.
All right, now is the chance to have YOUR say,
in the guest book below!
Till we meet again ~~~ "REJOICE, HE IS RISEN".
