My parents did all they could for us, but half of my family left the Lord anyway. They hurt and pray and grieve every day... but it wasn't their fault. We grew up. All of us made bad decisions, and some of us chose to not repent and come back.PatrickMeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741720069221746106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1148048331935592232006-05-19T09:18:00.000-05:002006-05-19T09:18:00.000-05:00Hi, Patrick.

I wholeheartedly agree that parents must make certain their children are involved in all area activities, besides faithful attendance with the church family. But I have stopped beating myself because one of my children is no longer faithful to the Lord. We gave him every opportunity to be with Christians, and we involved in many of these activities, but he made wrong choices. We continue to pray for him as well as our daughter and all our grandchildren and great-grandchildren.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9928836.post-1147718737886660062006-05-15T13:45:00.000-05:002006-05-15T13:45:00.000-05:00I haven't been commenting on all of them, but I wa...I haven't been commenting on all of them, but I wanted to let you know how much I have been appreciating your parenting advice. I have been doing some soul-searching into my own life, and the type of example I've been setting for my son. It hasn't been very pretty, but God's been doing good work in my life lately.

I am a member of the Sunshine Church of Christ and married into the Gampp family. My husband, Tim, taught Art History 101 to (I think) your sister last quarter at Shawnee State University.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just read your post and shared it with Tim. I kept saying "wow, I love that" as I read. Thank you so much for your insights. I agree with you entirely in what you said. It is my goal to do and be the things you mentioned. Tim and I are in the process of waiting for a referral picture of our baby girl in China. We have no other children and felt the calling to adopt a daughter from China in 2004. It's been a long process but very much worth every step of the way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the blog post and reading all of my "blah blah blahs"!<BR/><BR/>Jennifer GamppJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514189937096363352noreply@blogger.com
