LACK OF KNOWLEDGE

 

I was a flower girl for Aunt Ruth and Uncle Jack's wedding.  Did not smile for the picture. I was missing my sister Evy as she was asleep and did not walk with me as the second flower girl.

I was fortunate to have a godly upbringing. Not only are parents and grandparents important in a child's life so are aunts and uncles. Aunt Ruth pictured above is the aunt who taught me and encouraged me to love music and dancing.  I have a recording of her encouraging me to do my dance for the audio recording even though I wasn't visible. 

Now to mention uncles. My brother Jay was thrilled to hold great niece Samantha.

Jes and Jessica are a terrific aunt and uncle to Samantha and Natalie.  Here is a picture of Uncle Jes babysitting Natalie.  She would make a funny face which I loved. 

Aunt Heather and Uncle Jessie are a generous aunt and uncle to Noah.  They shower him with good gifts. Here is Uncle Jessie playing with Noah and his parent's dog Freddo.

All this made me think of the teaching to obey the 10 commandments.  The one in particular I'm thinking of today is the 10th.  

 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor’s."

So what is our society teaching our kids today?  Everything from social media and even the Olympics are teaching our kids to lust.  We are given freedom by having the 10 commandments to put boundaries, which are good for us, around our lives.  We are not given license to have any freedom to do anything. Here is a quote from "Breakpoint."

“Satanic” is an accurate word, however, for the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics, staged as a journey through French history and culture down the Seine (pronounced sin), which is not only the name of the river that runs through Paris but what the performance celebrated. In fact, celebrating transgression, shock, and perversion was the point. Even more, this was a glorification of desecration, which included mocking the sacred. It was an example of what sociologist Phillip Rieff called a “deathwork,” only this one was broadcast across the world."

Even today the youth -- which are protesting against Israel and the United States -- are supporting Hamas out of ignorance. They do not know God's word. May our young people seek Jesus before it is too late.

Matthew 19:14  but Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.”
