I have been concerned seeing how covetousnes...Yes! I have been concerned seeing how covetousness can overtake my children (and me when I shop for them and get an urge to buy out the store). I think materialism is one of the great demonic plagues that keeps our nation from God and I want to teach my kids to stear clear of it and not fuel or teach this at Christmas time. I would love to talk/pray with you or others as to how to keep Christ central and instead fuel a passion for compassion and giving. Oh, that our kids would learn to live for eternity and sacrifically care for "the least of these" and not live to accumualate stuff for their own pleasure pursuit.dgirand1https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872536074718099836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853617374180799818.post-7956533180294947002010-12-28T08:38:36.660-05:002010-12-28T08:38:36.660-05:00AMEN AMEN AMEN!
