[QUOTE="LiL"Comet", post: 441100, member: 16774"] Great Post!!! Sundays is a ritual with our family, lunch after church around 1:00pm with all the trimmings. Its great we always take time for anyone to share something before the meal for prayer for someone or whatever need be, then we ask thanks for our blessings and dig in. After every-one's finished get all the dishes cleaned up, the kids go outside to play with their cousins climbing trees, jumping on Paw Paws trlr (which is a no no) and just whatever they can get into. LOL There's always pecan pie, pineapple upside down cake or some kind of yummy desert but it never fails the kids are like clock work about the time we get everything cleaned up they want a cone of ice cream and to them it wouldn't be nanny's without ice cream. In our culture today we are continuing to take all the sacredness out of everything we have built our history on IMHO. I feel like at every holiday there's no respect given to those who are the reason there is a holiday. The only thing kids like about a holiday these days is getting out of school to play the WII's not what the holiday is celebrating. Veteran's, Thanksgiving, and Christmas are days among others that time should be taken out for our family, friends, and pay our respects to those who the holiday celebrates. I believe some if not a lot of kids are not even taught the basic principals at home they should have instilled in them from day one that's not something taught but rather a way of life. Respecting there elders, being able to open a door for someone else and not trying to get everything given to them instead of working for it. Respect is a soap box for me sorry but it is, that's something that really gets to my last nerve. It seems as Theo we grow less respectful to one another by the day.
