THE BIG PICTURE

I remember when I was a little girl,sitting around an oval table, having dinner with my Family. There are 7 people in my family.... 4 boys  and I ,the only girl in the middle , and of coarse, Mom and Dad. It was a ritual nightly ,to eat together and sometimes talk about the days events. Now mind you, my parents were not church going people . My dad was a tough , military diciplinarian , which now that I am grown ,believe that it was a good thing that he was so tough on us . My mom  is a sweet no drama type of mother lol. Wants to please everyone . Back then we did everything as a family, weather we wanted to or not! lol  We would pile in the ole LTD Ford to go to grannies house in Troy Alabama .. weather we wanted to or not! We had no choice. All of that was misery back then but as I look at how families are today , there is no wonder why the family institution is falling apart.

 The average family has no father or leader.  There is no one there to take control and set limits on what goes on in the lives of children. There's no structure or dicipline anymore. Families do not sit down and have dinner and discuss issues, they don't pray together,  its all about fending for our individual selves. Parents are drinking with their kids. Parents are smoking dope with their kids. Whats going on? Im not saying everyone is this way but its becoming the majority though , that this is what exists now. God says "Pull away at the fibers of my cloak and watch the world ravel away in disaster and turmoil". This means take God out of the family and schools and places of worship and watch the very fiber of this country wither away. I believe that's what has happened to our country ... God is being kicked to the curb , so to speak. And as long as this happens our children and their children are in trouble. Something has got to happen  to bring him back into our world. We need to take a stand and fight for him . All of us. I just had to talk about this because its so obvious and hes leaving it up to us to take a stand . Lets do it!                      Donna Q.
