Selfishness

    Selfishness is a terrible wicked beast. Who if it

sees a glimpse of unrestraint from its proper cage

leaps forth devouring your life and family. When you

feed this beast it grows wilder and stronger so that its

former restraints will no longer hold. The only clear

answer is to put this beast to death. Though it be a

gruesome battle and you perhaps may suffer injury.

The only path to peace runs through this cage and

over the grave of this beast.

    Say no to the subtle desires of your heart and yes

to the tremendous beauty of your children.

Dear Son,

                                     

 

    As you grow and learn in our home, I'm sure you have noticed that your parents struggle and sometimes fail to live right before God. Some of this you know and some you don't notice. The choice is yours as you move forward in life. How will you respond to these facts? As you grow in Christ you will become aware of truths that I either don't know or am unwilling to act on. Please continue in a forgiving Spirit, considering yourself. Our desire is to be a support and blessing to you as you lead your family in Christ. When you realize our imperfections small and great, please don't allow pride a foothold in your heart. You don't know it but pride and unforgiveness are family traditions. They have caused us to wonder through history being part of the problem and not the solution. If we are going to fight the systems of Satan and replace them with the systems of Christ. Then we must get our relationships right one generation to the next. So that the strengths of one generation blesses the others. While the weaknesses of each generation are learned from and quickly forgiven.

            In Christ Dad
