Missing The Old Days

Good morning family. Enjoying a quiet house this morning. I don't know about you but I get excited about being alone sometimes. With everything and everybody being so busy, it's important to enjoy a little peace. Don't get me wrong, I love the chaos and noise but I also love being by myself every now and then. Praying that everyone has a blessed/productive day whether at home or work. My grandkids are full of questions and ideas. They never cease to amaze me. Sometimes I think the generations before them, mine and my parents, were so much stronger but then I think about everything their exposed to that I wasn't. When I watched television as a child, I was protected. The people who made TV shows and commercials made sure I didn't see anything or hear anything that wasn't child-appropriate. The people on TV had drug problems, marital problems and other things going on but I didn't know it. I was under the impression that they were living beautiful lives, dreamy lives. Now a days our children see and hear just about any and everything on TV. We have to constantly monitor what they're taking in, looking at. The love of money has pushed our networks to the limit. I know it's up to the adults to control what goes on in our households but don't you miss the old days when you didn't have to spend so much time patrolling your living rooms? I bring this up because my grands do ask a lot of questions and I work towards having the right answers. I think to many times we're allowing the outside world to answer their questions because it's easier. In order to help our children grow into strong adults we have to set the right examples, have the good/honest answers, be good people. Lastly we have to ensure they understand what God says about them, who God is to them and what it really means to be loved by God. Praying for all as we move closer to the Christmas holiday. Let your light shine for our children, they need us more than ever. TeamMissingTheOldDays. Bblesseloveyou.
