Last night I was about to go out to Kroger and I realised that my sandals had gone missing. I went into the living room and asked my dad if he had seen them. He didn’t reply so I assumed that his answer was no. After turning the house inside out I walked back into the living room and saw that a stack of books that my dad was reading on the floor had a very uneven base. So I moved the stack and found my flip flops sitting there. I turned to my dad and asked if he knew that these had been here. he said yes. so i asked him why he didnt tell me where they were when i asked him.”I wasn’t listening,” he replied. Needless to say, I was mad. I had spent about twenty minutes looking for those shoes and i had to be at kroger before they closed.
That’s when it hit me. How often do we as teens disregard or just tune out whatever our parents say? Even worse, why do we get mad at them when they dont listen to us?
Worse still, how many of us “tune out” what God is trying to say to us?
This whole “tuned-out” personality of teens has reached a level that just makes it ridiculous.
