St Paul’s Cycle of Prayer:  Tuesday – Seekers and other Young Adults, those in our community who are unchurched, our community and those in need, especially Family Promise and CROS ministries

Our Psalm today includes these words: 

6 That the generations to come might know,

and the children yet unborn; *

that they in their turn might tell it to their children;

7 So that they might put their trust in God, *

and not forget the deeds of God,

but keep his commandments;

My oldest daughter, Chelsea, arrived yesterday for a week long visit. Yay! She is expecting her first child in October, our 2nd grandchild in four months! With all these babies, and having just completed VBS at St. Paul’s, the importance of these words really struck me this morning. The generations to come, the unborn children must  know to put their trust in God so that they in turn may tell their own children. Not to forget. Not to let the story get lost in all the demands of the world, not to rush through life so fast and so hard as to neglect to teach of our God, of Jesus, of love and grace. I pray for all parents today. It’s the toughest and sweetest job in the world. I pray for strength and peace and I pray you will make sure your children know they were created in love in order to love. Pass it on….
