Let's clean up our Hearts!

Pondering and thinking lately about all the problems for teens. The latest technology seems to be mostly use by teens to gain access to others there age...which they believe is "kool" or "fun". Yet, what I see is the majority of the kids are not learning to use the tools wisely. And the darts from the devil come at these teens from all directions, but the easiest is through the new tech gadgets, from their peers. Yes, that's right. They are sending negative messages to each other. I once bought a little chicken. I built it a nice coop, and thought this would be great. She grew up, and seemed happy alone. But then I put another one in with her one day. She tried to kill the new little chick. She didn't realize that it was one of her own. So, I had to separate them to keep them alive.

Today's kids seem thrown in a big arena at the schools, and they don't know who the real strangers are. Most public school kids are having some problems with socialization! That's right folks! They are not friendly. They don't recognize their own kind of species. And their ideas of what is kool or fun is usually based on which clothes they can get, or how much violent games they have at home, or if they can get on the computer and talk trash. It's a real mess out there. I wish people would realize that it is a crisis here in America too. We are rich in comparison to Haiti.....and spiritually poor! The kids are in a culture at their school, which is full of destruction to the human heart.

I plan to find new lessons for my kids. One that I found lately was The Squire and The Scroll, by Jennie Bishop. It's for boys, to teach them purity, valor, and to be on guard! It's really a rough world right now. Jennie Bishop also wrote the Princess and the Kiss, for girls to learn about purity.

I surely hope that I can find ways to teach them to guard their hearts and even their eyes from the things that will bring them down. Lots of kids I meet have wounded souls, which I think is sad. Sometimes a kid will say to me, "recycle, save the earth".....to which I'm ususally thinking...."May God save us!" We need to save our kids hearts, or they won't be able to enjoy a earth, even if it's clean, without landfills. The heart shouldn't be a dump! Let's clean up our hearts!
