No, tonight I want to talk about one thing & one thing only. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PARENTS TODAY????
I was at wally world this afternoon to pick up just a few items and a prescription. What I saw horrified me, made me want to 'chuck', made me want to grab these parents & shake them!
It was a young couple, late 20's, early 30's, with their probably 6 year old daughter, 3 or 4 year old boy & a baby. Before you tell me to mind my own business. I WAS minding my own business! But when you dress your little boy like a little gangster & your 6 year old daughter is dressed to make $200 a night on the strip, it's a little difficult NOT to notice!!!
So when I say "Oh My God!" I'm not using Abba's name in vain, I truly mean "Oh My God, what is wrong with these people?" What can they possibly be thinking to dress their children like that? Both the mother & father were dressed more or less casual. t-shirt & jeans for both, her's was maybe a little tighter than what I would call a natural fit, but oh well, she's a grown woman & can make her own decisions on how she wants other men looking at her. Her daughter was no where near old enough to decide for herself that it was ok for her to be gawked at like a piece of meat!
I know the answer before I ask it; The world is so accustomed to walking in the darkness they don't even see they are walking into a trap, a pit, a gigantic ocean of lies, deceit, hatred, loathing, etc, & the enemy wants to drown them in it. They don't even understand they are walking in darkness and there is a Light, who wants nothing more than to save them & love them & dispel the darkness that is smothering them.
But I still have to ask the question, "Oh My God, what is wrong with these people, how can they be so blind!"
My heart, my spirit cries at the darkness that surrounds people. It fills their spirits with a blackness that deafens them to the Love & Peace & Light that Abba wants to fill them with!!
Please forgive me if I seem judgemental, I don't mean to be, I promise. But that little girl, & the poor little boy who seems to have his parents thrusting him to the image of how cool it is to be a 'gangster', & who knows what will become of the baby. I can't help but want to shake those parents, hug those little babies (even @ 6 that little girl is still a baby!) & pray for all of them.
You know I thought I might feel better, if I voiced my thoughts out loud. I don't. In fact, if anything, I feel worse, because I realize there is absolutely nothing I can do except pray for those precious babies to be protected, for the parents to WAKE UP, & thank God, literally, that my children do not allow my grandchildren to dress & act like that. Thank you God that my children do their best to teach their children how to be modest & to believe in God & to do what's right, not just what's easy.
Ok, time to do dishes, but I'm still bothered, still praying. thanks for letting me "vent".
