Four of our teen-aged grandsons are there with other youth and youth pastor and wife,
and music minister and wife. These youth are excited as this is their first time to get to
go to National Youth Congress. They expressed having an awesome time, and enjoying the
anointed services.
The Lord willing they will be flying home Sat night. Sunday will be exciting for sure! They
all worked very hard to make the money for their trip, airline tickets, rooms, food, etc. They
worked together with the youth pastor and wife and others. Served the church a spagetti
dinner, a Mexican dinner and last of all, soft tacos and salad luncheon with desserts after each
meal. It was very good. Should have seen the assembly line of young men with their serving
aprons on, working to keep the line going.
They worked for a common goal! National
Youth Congress!
When young people work and make their own money for the things they desire, it means more
to them. Too many young people are spoiled rotten, given everything they want.
I heard a doctor on "Focus On The Family" with Dr. James Dobson. He said most kids today do
not have a desire. Said you should never give a child a tricycle until it desires one. And instead
of giving them a bicycle before they have outgrown the tricycle, wait until they desire or need
something larger.
It's not the young people's fault. It is the parents and grandparents fault for giving them every-
thing they want, not desire. They have no REAL desire.
Our eldest daughter wanted a car when she took driver's education. She wrote a paper for a
class in school as a junior. She said at first she thought her parents should buy her a car. When
we told her she would have to work and earn it, she said at first she didn't think that was right
(although we did pay for her insurance).
But after working and paying for it herself, she said she was so glad her parents made her earn it.
It meant so much more to her and she took better care of it because she had had to work for it.
She wrote it as a class paper and received a high grade for it. The next year she was valedictorin
of her senior class.
