Loading ...I see a teenager cutting the grass or raking the leaves, but it is such a rare occasion where I now live that I actually slow down and say a quick prayer for the parents who are doing such a good job raising the next generation.
Interesting pondering over that list of 40 things. Was a great reminder of how lucky I was to have grown up experiencing real life. Started thinking of a lot of other things this next generation needs to attend to, to learn.
But all those things are pretty useless really, in the long run, if they dont have the values, morals, the ‘heart’ to put all those things to good use, not only in their own lives, but in helping others. That would be the biggest failure in my view of what we are not teaching the young ones. I think so many today get their sense of value, even purpose in life, mostly from watching television. And that is a poor substitute for the values most of us were taught growing up.
Whether hard times, or good times, await this next generation, they are going to have a rough row to hoe without that ‘inner compass’.
