We teach our children about the world and the Bible. We teach them that the world is bad (1 Jn. 2:15). And we teach them that the Bible is good (Pr. 16:20). That is true, but our children are rarely taught (guided) as to how the two intersect with each other. The result is that they will either be seduced by the world or they will be cocooned from the world. Both are useless to Jesus. The desired biblical mindset is when Christians reject the influence of the world (see it for the deceptive garbage that it is), but desire to love and influence those trapped the world.

"YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW"
     
There are two days in every week about which we should not worry.
Two days which should be kept free from fear and apprehension.

One of these days is yesterday with its mistakes and cares,
Its faults and blunders, Its aches and pains.
Yesterday has passed forever beyond our control.
All the money in the world cannot bring back yesterday.
We cannot undo a single act we performed.
We cannot erase a single word we said. Yesterday is gone.

The other day we should not worry about is tomorrow.
With its possible adversities, Its burdens, Its large promise and
poor performance.
Tomorrow is also beyond our immediate control.
Tomorrow's Sun will rise, either in splendor or behind a mask of
clouds, but it will rise.
Until it does, we have no stake in tomorrow, for it is yet unborn.
This just leaves only one day . . . Today.
Any person can fight the battles of just one day.
It is only when you and I add the burdens of those two awful
eternity's -
yesterday and tomorrow that we break down.
It is not the experience of today that drives people mad.
It is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened
yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring.

Let us therefore live but one day at a time.

"Dear Son"
             

   

You're not just off to camp,

but to protect our world.

You've been my loving son for years,

but now more has unfurled.

Boot camp is what they call it,

but I just call it fear,

for I'll be worried all the while

that you're not home right here.

I know God is looking out after you

as He has in the past,

but I'll be continually praying saying

I want you home at last.

You're a grown man of which I'm proud

and so I say to you.

I will keep my love light shining

as a mother should do.

Dear son I hope you'll write real soon

to tell me how you are,

because dear son you'll always be

my bright and shining star.


Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
