The Art of Perseverance

Generational Teaching

I saw my Momma's faith

As I was growing up

I saw my Momma's tears

As she drank from the bitter cup.

I learned from watching her, the art of perseverance

And being resilient through my pain

I learned to love the Lord

And to His cause, true to remain.

1 Peter 4:13-16

*******

 

My son watched me bow on bended knee

And heard my words to God about my family

He heard me mention his name in my talks

With the Lord and he finally came to understand

And he learned to lean on Jesus when he became a man

And the molding of his own son was placed in his hands.

2 Timothy 1:5

Each day that we live, let us leave the next generation something to keep their faith strong. Yes, this next generation is going to need an extraordinary amount of faith and determination to make their calling and election sure.
