It occurs to me while reading this, that not only do electronic toys disrupt relationships among our children but they also disrupt marriages right and left!

Life is such a journey and I learn from falling down and skinning my knees. Denise, your plate is full. I am sure if my child had so many surgeries to endure, it wouldn't be a question. If he enjoys the time on his IPad, that is what he should do. Everything we do is certainly taken into the context of each individual situation. Your plate is full and you are in survival mode. And your dear husband; I am so, so sorry. I know you are on a difficult road right now and my prayers are with you. Whatever gives you freedom, that is what you do.

I want to try this in our family, tho' it will be a little more challenging than for some ~ my son uses his ipad to tune out the extreme pain he is in from his recent 16th and 17th surgeries. God being my helper, I will try to read fun living books and engage him in some board and card games. Electronics are the easy way out for me with the addtional stresses of caring for him and my husband who is in the advanced stages of Young Onset Parkinson's. No battle worth winning is ever easy. Thanks again for the time, thought and prayer you put into sharing this very needed "sermon".Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397688115030165647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761985176448785646.post-25127845798731221022012-10-21T13:46:20.458-07:002012-10-21T13:46:20.458-07:00Christie, I applaud you for this decision. We all ...Christie, I applaud you for this decision. We all need to step back and look at our relationships with a fresh eye at times. There have been seasons that God asked me to "fast" from tv or secular reading etc. Those are always times He's calling us to a closer walk with Him. Blessings, sweet friend, your children will thank you for this. xoDebra@CommonGroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830455848744270459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7761985176448785646.post-78197932877061799652012-10-21T12:26:58.484-07:002012-10-21T12:26:58.484-07:00My husband and I were just saying that about the w...My husband and I were just saying that about the way the kids of the future spend more time with those silly electronics.<br />I applaud you and your hubby.Your kids will be better for it . Your family will be a family thatwill enjoy each other<br /><br />. Even in church I see them being used. Awful. It must stop. Most churches do not carry bibles or read them. They have the headers on screen. It must stop.<br /><br />Talking to my son who lives far away from us. their dishwasher broke. So he said he is not going to get it fixed.<br /><br />So they all have hand washed dishes. And now they have a conversation with each other.<br /><br />Oh the t.v issue. Watching t,v and the worse was bad words I heard continued in every chanel . <br /><br />I am sure you have heard it.<br /><br />Watched a commercial and I said to hubby. It will soon that small<br /><br /> children will soon be picking that talk up. <br /><br />Your time my dear knowing you have your family and not the contol of a dial for your kids.<br /><br />Good for you.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
