Have you ever noticed that when you are trying to teach your kids a biblical lesson, you suddenly see how it applies to you too?? Then you have to decide, do I ignore the fact that this applies to me (at least in front of the kids), or do I use myself as an example, and try to teach them from the error of my ways?? I use myself as the example, but I'm tempted to pretend I'm perfect every time. I think we all want to be perfect in the eyes of our children, but I also think to do that is folly. We aren't perfect beings, that is why we need Christ in our lives to begin with. No one can keep that facade for ever, and when it falters, where will your kids be then?
The same applies to lying to your kids. Take for example the tooth fairy, the easter bunny, and yes, even santa clause. Eventually they will know the truth. Where does that leave God? Where does that leave your integrity in your child's eyes? It causes them to wonder about the truth of God when they shouldn't have had to. Take the time to ponder that.
On another note...
Did you notice my new ticker?? That's right! in just over five weeks, I will have my reversal surgery!! I'm so excited I just can't even stand it!! If you are curious about where I'm going or the Dr I have chosen, the link to his site is on the right. To be honest I'm more nervous about the logistics of traveling then the actual surgery itself. I don't like things to be up in the air. I like to have a good plan, and deviate if I need to, then to have no plan and have to wing it. prayers for the travel and surgery are greatly apprieciated!
Well, it is that time in my Saturday for me to goof off and play computer games! I hope to hear from everyone!
