7.10- We know there are no perfect people.

 7.10-

We know there are no perfect people. If people say that never do anything wrong that they are lying and that in itself is wrong.

There people who do things that are so wrong that they don't want their children or grandchildren to follow in their path. This way of life has destroyed them and they don't want this for any of their family.

There are people who have come to know a way of life that is such a good way of life that they want this and even better for their children. I was sitting today near a family at church that appeared to be at least three generations. This group had to clear out two rows of seats for their clan. They appeared to be peaceful and happy and enjoying each other. I'm not sure if they were visiting from out of town for the July 4th holiday or not. What I do know is that when you have discovered a way of life that gives you joy in the hard times and stability in the turbulent times it is common for you to want this blessing for your children and grandchildren.

A famous Jewish prayer is "May you live to see your children's children."

Psalm 127

127 Unless the Lord builds a house,
They who build it labor in vain;
Unless the Lord guards a city,
The watchman stays awake in vain.
2 It is futile for you to rise up early,
To [a]stay up late,
To eat the bread of painful labor;
This is how He gives to His beloved sleep.

3 Behold, children are a [b]gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward.
4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth.
5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them;
They will not be ashamed
When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
