The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same

Ahh... The weekend is finally here. My weekends are always marred, however,by the thought of Sunday. My kids don't want to go to church at all anymore. When they do they sit and talk or write notes the whole time. They don't even stand during the praise music any longer.

I KNOW they love the Lord, though, and that is what bothers me. I know that we are all letting people get in our way and Satan is winning this battle. But as a parent I don't know any other solution.

I simply cannot and will not force my daughters to attend church just to attend. They know what it feels like to feel at home in the sanctuary. To FEEL that it is a sanctuary from the world. To feel close to God.

I have not felt that at our church for about 2 years. Now my children feel it.

I know what must be done. I feel that God has opened some doors for our family, I just have so many memories at that church and they only have 9 members that keep the place going and 4 of them is our family!
