My motto is "Life is not about serving ourselves. It's about serving God by serving others." We want them to know what sacrafice is all about, but I don't want them to become bitter either. I just want to give them a bigger picture of the world--to see it more from God's perspective. Part of me wants to escape the influence of our culture, but since God hasn't called us to overseas missions yet : ), I'd like some more ideas on how to help them avoid being caught in the trap that our culture sets. I know I need to really keep praying for them, because it's a work God needs to do in each of their hearts. It has been all God's work in me and continues to be, as He pulls my heart away from this world toward Him. Thank you for the godly influence you are having on others through your blog. My heart is with you!kim phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15910709074111750296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-55126137854526212782008-04-17T19:39:00.000-07:002008-04-17T19:39:00.000-07:00Beautifully said and, I believe, God-breathed.

I'm ready to sell everything and live in a travel trailer in the woods and just let the kids enjoy all of God's creations - and that does not include plastic toys. (And I'm not kidding Amy. We're seriously talking about it!!!)<BR/><BR/>I know your blog has gone private, but I'd love to post your message on my blog if you'll let me.

Dan & I were just talking abo...I can't agree more. Dan & I were just talking about this very thing the other night. Doesn't anyone ever "save up" for anything? Does everything go on a charge card and magically get paid later? Adults are teaching children that it's not "their fault" when they do something wrong. Kids are learning that someone did them wrong, so it's okay to do it to someone else. Oh, I could go on and on. I don't know which is worse, the kids or the parents that are teaching this behavior. Oh wait, I think I just answered that. :) EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317477880142153579.post-7503293276952134722008-04-17T00:05:00.001-07:002008-04-17T00:05:00.001-07:00;0) Love ya girl.
