This weekend was nothing about anything else….
And ALL about ” 6 ~  precious individuals ” …
” THE NEXT GENERATION ”

Since my Mom and Dad have went to be w/ JESUS CHRIST….
It seems the “DEPTH”  of what I give to them,
is even deeper…….

What could be more important ?
What could be more important ?

I see their faces light up….at their creativity of
” mud pizza, skipping mud cookies on the River,
finding the perfect mud a 1/4 mile down in the
campground, actually jumping a hurdle on the
track, getting to go to ” Orphan Annies  TWICE..”
calling Rock and yelling, ” we are @ Orphan Annies”
( as Rock, works overtime to fund our fun )  !

But seriously…..what we give to see this ?
who’s heart is really full ?
It is mine.
Seriously…….
The Next Generation…….
If we say, ” the next generation will never ?”

Then it is only us….. who did not give it to them……
If the next generation has their heads burried
in their phones……
Then it is only us…..who did not give them MUD….
Then it is only us….. who did not pass down the genuine LOVE.

The genuine LOVE of making them 3rd……..their individual lives.
       1. God – do we let them see that in us ?   The next generation
2.  Our Spouse –  Rock –  do we let them see that ?
The next generation
3.  THEM –  do we let them see their desire matters most
( not spoiling, but developing character, truth
JESUS,  genuine lives…..seriously…genuine )
The next generation…

Watch their lives, watch their desires…..to be still ” genuine”
if, they don’t learn not to live genuine…. it is only by ” us “….

My heart feels FULL……………..
To know their showers are taken, their sleepin’ bags
are full…..their shoulders are burnt and they are tired.

A guy from Honda today said, ” good luck w/ your day ”
( with 6 )  seriously, is that how you look at spending
time….?  How I look at them…is what they receive…..

Africa is great…..but the next generation on my watch…

That GOD HIMSELF has given me,
The 6 in this cabin…..
Is who I will have ” CHURCH” with tomorrow….
They call it ” church of the CABIN ” ….

Is who I will try to show ” JESUS ” to daily…..
Is who will know, from my heart they, they are important…

The next generation…..
From their Grandmother, their mother…….( Bible )

I feel so compelled by God……
They are my ministry…….
Livi, Ava, Nina
Morgan, Reesey, & Tanner

I can only answer for the time I have with them…
and in that, I am determined,
I am determined

Many children are influenced ….I see that…
Spend 1 hour with a child and you will know
the genuine TIME given to THEM……

There is no excuse ….
The old saying, ” we each have 24 hours in a day”
” we each have 18 yrs. with our children ”

Gabe & Tug……18 yrs…..
Livi, Ava, Nina….Morgan, Reesey, Tanner …

the next generation. 

( can always tell when Mothers’ Day is coming )
