Whenever I suggest a new place or activity for my nine-year-old great grandson, the first thing out of his mouth is are they (the people) racist? When he was in second grade, he dressed as Malcom X and learned to take a knee. I’m choosing not to post a photo of this.
My hope is to get him out of public schools next year. He’s a talker and an arguer. He wants to dedicate his life to fighting racism. 🙄
I have made it a point to tell him that black people can be racist too and that most people are not racist. I have told him that God created one human race. Sin is responsible for the racism and hatred we see. Unfortunately, he has learned to blame everyone for his anything that goes wrong in his life. If he oversleeps, it’s my fault. I should have awakened him. It is critically important that we teach our children to take responsibility for their choices and not blame others for their failures. We need to teach their parents first. Sigh 😔
Greetings 👋 Repeat after me: God is NOT on my level. He Sees 👀 the things I cannot. #God #wisdom #knowledge

This is so beautiful and powerfully encouraging. We are NEVER too old to be God’s children.
“Consider how much love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now are we children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.” 1 John 3: 1-3 (MEV). #God #elderlycare #Jesus #Christian
Here’s a great word for today and everyday.
“Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods. His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords: His love endures forever.
to him who alone does great wonders, His love endures forever.
who by his understanding made the heavens, His love endures forever.
who spread out the earth upon the waters, His love endures forever.
who made the great lights— His love endures forever.
the sun to govern the day, His love endures forever.
the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.”
Psalm 136: 1-9 (NIV). “
