Time to put into action our priorities. What is so important that we neglect to take time for what really matters. God and family. We are so busy trying to keep up with "The Jones'" that we have let the real things that matter fall to the wayside. Then we sit, scratch our head, and say "what are we doing wrong". Believe me I am the biggest culprit. Well, you know, Facebook is soooo much more important than what happened at school. NOT!!! However, that's probably what my kids think as I sit and say, hold on, I am busy. REALLY!! Doing what, looking at how this friend is mad at this person or how so and so are seeing each other. We have fallen into such a trap and we do not even realize it. We think, that's how we keep in touch, that's how we advertise (me), that is the only way I know what is going on with everyone. Forgetting that 20 years ago, we got along just fine without all of this.
What are we showing our kids? We don't even talk to people, we just shoot'em a text. Heck, we don't even talk to each other at home. One is on the computer, Kindle, x-box, phone, what ever it may be. Well, for me and my home it stops here. I do not want my kids to not talk to me, because they do not know how to communicate without a device. How about you, are you willing to take a stand for your family and give it a break. I challenge you today, pick a time frame and say between this time and this time, there is no devices. We sit and talk about our days. Catch up on what is going on. See what happens!!! Well, that's it on my little rant. LOL!!! Hope ya'll have a blessed day and I look forward to hearing what happens when you put your devices down and communicate as a family. God Bless~Jen
