All this fun that we are teaching the children, is causing disrespect for Christ and disdain for the principles of hard work and diligence. Our enjoyment of life should come from our work and the little things during the times of rest.
There is little satisfying about play, God showed us in His Word that work is the only thing that satisfies.
Personally I find nothing more enjoyable than watching God's creation interacting with us and each other. Animal antics are God's movies for us.
Play can be and often is addictive, the more we do it the more we want and the less we enjoy it. I have known people who have lots of money are always playing and never seem to be content or satisfied.
Psalm 128:2 "When you shall eat of the fruit of your hands, You will be happy and it will be well with you."
Proverbs 13:4 "The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied."
Proverbs 10:4 "A slack hand causes poverty, but the hand of the diligent makes rich."
Ecc. 9:10 "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going."
2 Chronicles 31:21 "And every work that he undertook in the service of the house of God and in accordance with the law and the commandments, seeking his God, he did with all his heart, and prospered."
Proverbs 12:11 "Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense."
