(about finding some spell cards under her son's bed)
"......were some spell cards. Among them were Magician of Faith (not Christian faith) who is a spell caster, Spell purification and other spell cards (as they are called) that promote ideas such as summoning beings up from the grave etc. I guess they are from Yu Gi Oh cartoons or something.
Personally I'm strongly against my seven year old son having any type of thing like this in his possession and we've talked extensively about the dangers of dabbling in magic. He's fully aware that I don't even want him to watch the cartoons, or read those types of books or have these kinds of cards. He's brought a couple books home that actually have spell enchantments in them (I should add that he reads at a strong 3rd grade level so he has access to books that I do not want him to be reading.) And he knows that I don't want him to watch Harry Potter. As a parent that's what I've decided is best for my son.
Now, we do have many other movies we watch and I also have a Christian version of those kinds of cards which advocate Godly values instead of satanic ideas. So, he's not without entertainment or lack of interesting things to do.
Today, when he came home from school and said that he had a secret that he was hiding underneath his bed and that I shouldn't look. You know, I wasn't going to do that, I was going to trust him.......but something pressed me that I should look and sure enough he has these cards that he knows full well he shouldn't.
I've left them there and will give him a chance to fess up on his own. I plan to ask him about his secret and if it's something that I or God would want him to have. I'm hoping that he will really come to the right conclusion.....he's such a good sensitive little kid and probably is really curious about these things....but he's doing something I've made clear that is not acceptable.
Do you gals have any thoughts on how to handle this? I don't want to push him away, but I'm sure that I don't want him to get away with this either."
I Believe!!!,
