ter is just as taboo now as well.
When we make up stories to
make hurt easier for children or
teach them life lessons, such as
the tooth fairy or to be good to
receive gifts, we need to remember God. Jesus was born for
us, not Santa Claus. Jesus died
for us, not some bunny. And the
tooth fairy or other such characters or fables should not be used

to direct the way our children
learn the lessons of life or comfort them- this is why we have
God. God is the great comforter,
He is the great Teacher, and He
will guide us through life to not
harm us. Knowing now what
Santa, the Easter Bunny, and
the Tooth Fairy are in relation to
Christ, we have a choice now.
What is yours?
