Who the heck taught strawberry shortcake that it's okay to abort a baby because they haven't experienced life?!? I seriously can't with these crazy uneducated kids!

☀️ Good Morning & Blessed Sunday! 🤍
What happens to a generation that forgets where it came from?
In Joshua 4, after God parted the Jordan River and the Israelites crossed on dry ground, He instructed them to gather twelve stones and build a memorial.
Those stones weren't decorations. They weren't simply reminders of a remarkable event.
They were there so that one day, when children asked, "What do these stones mean?" someone would be there to tell them.
God understood something about human nature that we would do well to remember today.
What one generation fails to teach, the next generation may never know.
Look at the world around us. How much history is being forgotten? How many lessons learned through sacrifice, hardship, courage, and perseverance are no longer being passed down? How many traditions, values, and testimonies are quietly disappearing because we've stopped telling their stories?
And perhaps most importantly, how much of God's faithfulness is being lost between generations because we've stopped speaking of what He has done?
We cannot expect our children and grandchildren to understand the significance of things they've never been taught.
History matters. Truth matters. Our spiritual heritage matters.
Not because we're supposed to live in yesterday, but because yesterday has lessons that tomorrow desperately needs.
📖“That all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the LORD, that it is mighty, that you may fear the LORD your God forever.”
Joshua 4:24 (NKJV)
God didn't tell His people to build those memorials so they could remain in the past. He told them to remember so future generations would know.
And maybe that's a question worth asking ourselves this Sunday:
What are we preserving today that will still speak truth to those who come after us?
May we never become so focused on moving forward that we forget what deserves to be carried with us. ❤️

I didn’t do side by side especially up close because she is one of a kind. But I still have her in the pic. IView quoted post on X
I'm genuinely ASTOUNDED. 🤦♀️🇺🇸
People actually thought they were voting for PRESIDENT in a MIDTERM election?!
How are we supposed to have an informed electorate when some people don't even understand what election they're participating in?
This is why teaching civics, understanding our Constitution, and knowing how our government works MATTERS.
You don't have to be a political expert, but knowing WHAT you're voting for seems like a pretty reasonable starting point.
And suddenly, the predicament this country finds itself in isn't quite so mysterious. 🤦♀️
