When did our lives change from those families portrayed on TV shows like Andy Griffin Show, The Walton's, Brady Bunch,
My Three Sons? Watching these shows on the TV Land channel are a lot
of fun in remembering how life was easy and safe. Children played in the
yards, went to the park, went to school the doors were not
locked……everyone felt safe. If I remember right most of the old shows
they either went to church or mentioned going to a church. Family life
together was important. Dinner time at the table (without cell phones,
tablets) was talking to each other. There was morales and kindness to
each others. What happened? Where will society be when another 10 years
goes by?
Burger King had a slogan (Years ago!)
“Have It Your Way” Hasn’t that been a mistake? Should we say “have it
GOD’s way? When GOD is in the picture don’t things and life go
smoother. When you hear reports of killings do you hear the report say
and they were faithful members of “such and such” church. I don’t
recall church being mentioned. And I am talking about those who actually
shoot not those souls who were shot. It has been said we should put
GOD back in school. What about getting GOD back in the family? Proverbs
22:18 says Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old
he will not depart from it. Just think if you weren’t raised in the
church you would right now not be reading this church newsletter. Once
that church foundation is made it is planted in each of our minds.
Haven’t you heard people say ” I used to go to church”,” I do need to
get back in the church”. But you know sometimes that foundation can
crumble around the corners and fall away but the main support is still
there. As is GOD in the church and in your homes and in your life. The
Bible says GOD will never leave us.
To answer the question should GOD be
put back in school? He is there anyway. If children are raised in
church taught stories from the Bible they carry GOD with them no matter
what public officials say. In Sunday School we teach you can pray to
GOD anytime and anywhere. My Aunt used to say she prayed to GOD thru
good times just so when the bad times came GOD would remember her…..well
of course we know GOD never leaves us. But you get the jest of my
Aunt’s message.
Marianne Williamson - New York Times
Best Selling Author said “ People are looking for hope today because the
world is so filled with fear and chaos”. If you get a chance read any
of her books they are fabulous. Do we live in fear and chaos? How do we
overcome that? What is the answer? Can we go back like those days of TV
Land shows?
In 2 Timothy 3:1 it tells us of the final days……after reading this scripture it certainly makes you think?
Have a blessed day and pass it on….even if it just your smile!
