ALL we can do is keep praying for them and doing what The Lord tells us to do, be the best living, real testimonies we can be... but BE REAL, not phoney... that turns them off. We are ALL human, none perfect, and we must remember to walk in love as love covers a multitude of sin.. theirs AND OURS.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776679818946900724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20541515.post-25546145254981377972007-12-18T21:31:00.000-05:002007-12-18T21:31:00.000-05:00I did my best to give my sons Jesus when they were...I did my best to give my sons Jesus when they were a bit younger. Considering I didn't come to faith in Christ until I was almost 32, I missed giving them Jesus the first years of their lives. I hate myself for that, because by the time your boys are 10 and 11 they're not too keen on Jesus and church and all that stuff. I made them go to church with me and I've been told I was wrong to do that. My husband wasn't going to church and the boys would often throw that into my face saying "Why do we have to go it he doesn't?" <BR/><BR/>As young teens, when they did go, they were looked at as if they were outcasts because they had long hair and that wasn't cool with some of the older folk at church. Even the youth group didn't make them feel welcome so they stopped going altogether when they reached their mid-teens. It hurt me deeply that this happened in a church where I felt I would be a member forever.<BR/><BR/>My sons are 37 & 36 years old now and tell me they've asked the Lord into their hearts. They know the difference between right and wrong but they don't darken the doors of our church or any others. It hurts my heart to know I've failed in this area, but I must trust God to do what only He can do! I may not see the desires of my heart granted while I live on this earth, but I pray that one day, I will see my sons and their wives and their daughters enter heaven to be with me forever.<BR/><BR/>For those of you who've done as Sara has done, God bless you! You were given a gift of time and wisdom and you used it well. Be grateful! For others who may be like me, let's hang on to God's truths and promises and pray for our loved ones with a new found zeal. Let's show our loved ones our faith by our words and our deeds. Let's let our lights shine and never cease telling them of God's goodness and mercy to a lost and dying world.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610453652729003797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20541515.post-19040382466612330902007-12-18T17:17:00.000-05:002007-12-18T17:17:00.000-05:00again - upon reading your writing - I'm crying.Th...again - upon reading your writing - I'm crying.<BR/><BR/>This is a MOST AWESOME post!!!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812561767149616280noreply@blogger.com
