I am feeling discouraged this evening...the world is so ugly sometimes...

I was at Walmart tonight doing some basic shopping. Parents were yelling and openly swearing at their children. Fathers were taking no control of their children, just ignoring them. Men gawking at women, openly. Women dressed like they just crawled out of bed and came out to shop. People don't smile at each other anymore. Children are dressed like adults, gyrating around and wearing makeup by around age 6 or 7 and then their parents wonder what went wrong... Ugh, I know these things don't seem so bad within themselves, but they speak to bigger problems happening within the family unit...in homes...in hearts...it's so different than even 10 years ago. I know the Lord is in control, but it seems as though things are getting worse right before my eyes... Lord Jesus, come and get your Bride soon!!!

No, the are just as bad as they sound. and your right, its rediculous, i cant tell you how many children i have seen get lost and left behind by there parents at old jobs, resteraunts, or just plain shopping. Its like the world just got unhappy. nobody has mannors anymore, how many people do you hear say thank you? or even hold a door for you? how about an "excuse me" once in a while instead of pushing me out of the way to get to the clearance rack? children should not be around parents that are screaming and swearing at them, but if it "has" to be done... which it doesnt... dont do it in public. have some decency and respect and act your age. people and peoples additudes have gotten bad over the last years, ive been periodically watching it happen, and i cant stand the sight of it!
