Games?

What has happened to the common games of our children, and us? The games of , marbles, hopscotch,, red-rover.red-rover, hide-n-seek, tag? You can probably think of more! These were the games that took energy to do. These were the games that made you laugh ,, to yourself and in a group,, & laugh out loud and laugh a lot . These were the games that kept our weight down,, some were called exercise. These were the games that got , sometimes a scrap on ones knee or elbow,, no ambulances, no suits in court,, no fatalities,, usually just a "ugh", maybe a little tear, but back to play, right after the Mercurochrome was added(no band-aid for the boys , for this red colored applications were trophies). These were the games that taught us all how to mix with each other,, how to communicate in groups,, and also for some , maybe that sweetheart would be in the crowd, and the girls would smile and wink at that boy,, make him uncomfortable,, a little red faced, but deep in his heart,,, a pounding that no one but he would ever know... Yes these were the games..
No guns,, & each boy, probably had a jack knife in his pocket,, only for whittling,, nothing else on his mind ,, just had one in his pocket, seeing the police car roll by and all of the kids waving,, for a cop was a hero,, boys wanted to grow up like them,, instead of demonstrating.. heck they were just kids,, the only thing they seen with violence,, was at the movies ,, once in a while,, and if they did go,, they got to see a cartoon ,, each time... Oh how it was ,, when we all were so ,, under the influence of peace,, driving 60 mph, and actually doing the speed limit on the two lane road,, some paved , some dirt.. and usually ,, a car full of all of the family,, going to a baseball game, a football game,, a basketball game,, not to the mall, or the large doom of a game room.. yes , we all were with the family, each other,, and all playing a game outside,, if raining, too hot, or cold,, a game of checkers or monopoly , even , sometimes with mom or dad,,, just a good ole fashion

GAME OF ENJOYMENT,,

NO JOY STICKS, NO DOOMSDAY PICTURES,

NO WAR, NO HURT, NO KILLING,,

JUST A BUNCH OF KIDS,, ENJOYING EACH OTHER!

God, thank You for those times,, and may we have them again,, within each family,, amen
