I know that we cannot go back but, we can see from where we have come. Our country was strong, cultureally right. The majority it seemed, went to church and raised their children there. It was a sweet time.
What Happened To GOD’s Old Fashioned Women? Women who were careful how they spoke and didn’t use profanity to get their thoughts across. Who loved their husbands and children and their GOD. Stay at home mothers raising their children well and respected their husbands and worked at having a loving home. Old fashioned women who were careful how they dressed, and did their best to keep their children safe but in line with the rules of the home. Sometimes, mothers and their children went to pick beans and berries to help out with the family finances and with school clothes. Women who supported their children’s efforts at school by attending their plays, games or recitals, but, realizing all the while that then, the schools were safe and moral. It was a different time then, it was a more peaceful time where neighbors were friendly and helped each other by keeping an eye out for intruders and any other danger. I can remember several young mothers who would go to the park with their toddlers and watched them play together. Also, I can remember my mother passing along clothes down from among the three of us girls, hemming dresses, making them over, or making new ones. Mothers who did canning and preparing the family’s food for the coming year. Doing yard work and landscaping and dressing up the yard to make it beautiful. Of course the breakdown of the American home has come about by divorce of so many couples and families. And then there are couples having children without the benefit of marriage which has brought about a total breakdown of the American Sweet Culture. I am remembering to, hearing the sound of church bells ring Sunday morning telling all of us to get up and get ready for church. There is an old saying, “The family that prays together, stays together”! Lastly, that is the country and feelings that I miss but, times have changed and we REALLY need to look up for our REDEMPTION DRAWTH NEAR! JESUS IS COMING SOON, ARE YOU READY? Written by: Marilyn S.
