Life's Memories; And Dreams for the future Part 2

Things were so simple when I was young! Families worked and played together. We ate dinner together every night. We talked about our dreams and everyday happenings at the dinner table. Everyone helped with the chores; so that we could do fun things together. We played games together and had lots of water fights in the summer. We went fishing when we could! We did everything as a family! We may not have had a lot of extras but we had what we needed; and that was our family! We all want to give our children all the things we never had; but by giving them all the things they want are we helping them? Or are we setting them up to fail. If our children don't have to work for things they don't appreciate them. We need to show them that our families are more important than possessions! We need to get back to families working and playing together. So our children will be stronger for the years ahead of them. Renee
