This is so true. What wonderful memories some of us have! The Bible played such an important part of our lives, and still does. When I was growing up (born 1947) we didn't have much. But we had a lot of love and looked out for one another. Somehow when things looked bleak and how would we make ends meet, that's when we knew God was in control, and we never suffered because we didn't have as much as some others. We learned to depend on God, did our part and God ALWAYS blessed. But now we have this wonderful technology that has taken the place of nurturing and teaching from God's Word. Some can't wait to put papaw and mamaw in a nursing home. The older generation has so much knowledge and wisdom that they can still impart if you are willing to listen. Sometimes the old ways are best. Let's get back to teaching the Bible to our little ones so they can have hope in a hopeless situation.
