How did we get here?
To this place and time
Where virtual takes the place of actual.
It started with the first televisions sets.
Families began to sit around it and stare at the screen.
They were deceived into believing that they were "spending time together"
But they weren't looking at each other, and they weren't interacting with each other.
They were taken away. They were somewhere else. With other people.
Satan used the technology to destroy the family.....and he's done a great job!
A baby girl sits on the floor and cries for attention. Mom and Dad are scrolling away on their smart phones while the tv blabs on in the background. Heaven forbid they miss a thing. Too bad they are missing EVERYTHING. They are missing the point of life!
Little ones play at the park, families sit down to a meal, couples sit in a coffee shop, and they stare at the screens. Even church is not off limits.
When did we lose our minds? Why do we do this? Throw life away, throw precious time away? Miss out on so much? Let relationships fall apart so that we don't miss out on what's happening on screens???!!!

Oh, I'm afraid you're so right. God bless you dear. I'm afraid even as homeschoolers, it's come into our house with the screens.
ReplyDeleteIt's not going to be easy for this next generation of parents.
