Things are in a relatively smooth pattern at the moment, but there was a discussion in the Chatty Pad on this subject last week, and it brought tears to my eyes...so many points that were exactly my life. I didn't even contribute to the chat because it seemed to have all been said.

Oh wow, Sharron, I just saw this in the forum. SO very, very true!! I was one who spoke up in the forum, but I could have gone on and on. It's heartbreaking the way some younger people act and some older ones, as well. People of all ages can be so extremely cruel! This is so beautifully illustrated in your page, and you're making me stop and think about calling God - thank you.
I can totally relate. The culture of honor has disappeared from the States; in classrooms, jobs, and yes, families. Sad. Our hope comes from the promise that He will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers (parents). Been praying that a lot lately- cos the kids don't even realize there is a need. But God..!
This really stroke a cord in me, My husband and I have talked about the lack of family contact lately due to the grand-kids and kids being so busy. We joke that we could be mummified in our chairs and no one would know.....how sad is that! But the last part broke my heart, I tend to do the same thing with God, only calling on him when I need something, when I'm going through a tough time....etc.....thank you for posting this and opening my eyes to changes I need to make.
God has used my children and grands to illustrate MANY truths. And it started with The Beginning. Who was the Perfect Parent? And yet His children went astray...or at least, not down the Best Path. I was/am no where near a perfect parent, so why should I be surprised when my kids, with their free will, choose directions contrary to what I think is best?
