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 😔
Please set a phone reminder for this national prayer request. It’s noon in your time zone. #prayer #franklingraham
Greetings 👋
I take much comfort in these verses. What about you? How has God been faithful to you when the enemy came in like a flood?
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.”
Isaiah 61: 1-3 (NIV).
