That Old Time Religion

The Walton's


by Housewife4Palestine

At one time America was shaped on homespun family values, where the core of many families was Christianity that attempted to create children that when they grew into adult’s were assets to society, I am sorry to say; not much of what we are seeing in today’s world with the drinking, fornication, drug’s and violence resembles what your Grandparent‘s knew.

These families had close ties and much laughter and happiness that is becoming a distant commodity in today’s world.

While this program called, “the Walton’s,” took place during the Depression of the 1930’s it is not unlike the growing economic problems we are having today.

With what appears to me as a growing dissatisfaction in the Christian community in America, I tend to wonder because the value system still exists in Islam; is why the growing number’s of American’s are turning to Islam?

*****************************

I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers.

Back in time to where the first one trod.

And stopped, saw sky, felt wind, bent to touch Mother Earth and called this home.

This mountain, this pine and hemlock, oak and poplar, laurel wild and rhododendron.

Home and mountain.

Father, mother, grow to the sons and daughters to walk the old paths.

To look back in pride in honoured heritage.

To hear its laughter and its song.

To grow to stand and be themselves one day remembered.

I have walked the land in the footsteps of all my fathers.

I saw yesterday and now look to tomorrow.

-Earl Hamner
