When I was a girl there were comedians who had sticking out teeth and that was part of their attraction. They took what they had been given and made it an asset. There was a Welshman called Griffiths I think, a character actor, he had protruding teeth. There was Ken Dodd complete with teeth and sticking up hair. Now all the children are whisked off to the orthodontist and made to look ordinary. Everybody has to conform to someone else's idea of normality. So now we have designer children. I saw a little girl of about five yesterday and thought what lovely gentle red hair she had and then I realized she had highlights!! Fancy paying out good money to treat a child like a model. Also is there not a message there telling the child that she needs changing to be good enough. Someone pulling the strings of society wants us to conform.
Every time I take a few days off from my blog my ratings slump. Very rarely do people go back into my old posts and read again. This is a typical attitude of the human heart, always wanting something different. At this time of year we should not be greedily wondering want new thing we will be getting for Christmas. Instead we should be looking at the old, old story, which is ever new of a baby who amazingly was God incarnate, God's gift to those who will put there trust in this one who was to grow up to give His life for His people. Set aside the controversy over whether December 25th is the actual date of His birth.(Shepherds do not keep their sheep out at night in Israel in December.) and set aside time to think about the fact that He did come and ponder if He came to set you free and if your answer is ,"Yes," He will make you free indeed.
