Oh boy have I started something. Lord, I just don't have the words I need most of the time. I decided that I didn't like the whole Elf/ Shelf concept of being watched, etc.
So I looked up some Christian alternative ideas. Well, came up with nice letter to accompany the Elf which will show up tomorrow. My daughter was not happy with the result!!. She says that she is tired of Christians thinking they can get away with anything and then be forgiven. Dear Lord, what has this world taught her? What have I taught her, or better yet, not taught her. I tried to explain, but the right words wouldn't come. Any way, I changed the letter somewhat. Then I start wondering, what right do I have anyway to put my Christian beliefs on to my unsuspecting 6 year old grandson? I guess that's why I never raised my children with any "real" belief. I didn't feel I had the right to put my beliefs on to them. Now I begin to see that I am offering to have their souls saved, or at least a way to have that- but with children.... Oh Lord help me see this correctly- with your eyes!
I'll keep posting on Elf stuff- maybe.
