The way we think we are, oh what a laugh indeed
To see ouselves in others eyes is what we really need
Somehow this ole place we live and abide
wants to drop trusting the Lord, and, rather, with evil reside
So it's no wonder , nor will cause dismay, if I let you in
on the fact that if we allow that to happen, we'll be idolizing sin.
And in this: me first, take care of number one, and all the,
self-centered, cliches
It's no surprise that morals and manners, our children neglect
They had us to show them the way
In caring for others in giving you receive, the truths,
we once lived by
Are to be scoffed and ridiculed, regarded as, weak people's,woes,
it's enough to make one cry

A very timely write...and one worth taking the time to ponder over. It is, indeed, a reason to mourn..
We are living in the age of Lawlessness!
Proverbs 20:11 says "Even a CHILD is KNOWN BY his DEEDS, by whether he does what is pure and right." But it is PARENTS who are ACCOUNTABLE FOR their teaching and upbringing!
"The righteous [rightful-living] man WALKS IN his INTEGRITY; His CHILDREN are BLESSED AFTER HIM." Proverbs 20:7

Children do learn by what they are taught by our actions, lives and standards we reveal to them they are very impressioable. Walking in the ways as a 21st American person sets ourselves in the standards of the world trying to look like the Jones and trying to fake it as a Christian, settling for less of God and more of self. Honest I have never worried what others think of me as far as following Jesus.
The way of this world is always tempting, accepting, and then robbing a person of true Spiritual value. Thanks for this one early today.
God Bless
Love you more...
