Needless to say I find it a blessing and refreshing to see an adult with all the pressures of this world still in love with our beautiful God. My prayer is that as God blesses me with a family of my own I would not loose the child inside me and that I may always be desperately seeking my father like a kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055253.post-1130251695789813382005-10-25T09:48:00.000-05:002005-10-25T09:48:00.000-05:00Again, your words struck a chord with me. I agree ...Again, your words struck a chord with me. I agree that our children follow our example and our every word, but up to a certain age. Then, as they are exposed to the rest of the world, they start to question our teachings. I think that is the way it should be. They must find their own answers as to how to deal with life as they find it. We give them the foundation and they go out and apply it to their experiences. Sometimes, especially as they get older, there are conflicts. I see that as part of the learning process. As long as our attitudes and postions don't change, they will have some stability to fall back on.<BR/>I believe God knows we are going to struggle with His teachings and trying to apply them to the "real" world. He knows we are going to stray from the path He has laid for us. But when we do, and teens don't have the corner on this market, He is ALWAYS there, never changing, always loving, always welcoming. Sometimes, even the best parents struggle with those.<BR/>Thank you for your words and for rekindling my own faith in my God by making me think.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055253.post-1128971262139452042005-10-10T14:07:00.000-05:002005-10-10T14:07:00.000-05:00thank you i typed the blog in a rush and wasn't th...thank you i typed the blog in a rush and wasn't thinking i am going to fix that now God blessTelikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04868259374671474546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13055253.post-1128957203615437442005-10-10T10:13:00.000-05:002005-10-10T10:13:00.000-05:00thank you for your words of wisdom this morning. ...thank you for your words of wisdom this morning.
