Generation 1234567....

Each generation can smile at the lessons that came from the previous generation and build on those lessons.  Solomon lost favor with God for having one woman too many contrary to God's advice. It said it turned his heart away from God. What about too many sugar coated donuts and then you feel that peace as Charles Stanley puts it, move away.  David and Jonah learned from their mistakes as in Jonah's anger management and David lost a son after conceiving a child in lust and theft. But, God forgave and they learned the lesson not to follow that mishap of fallen nature. See Romans 7 and 1st John 1: 9.  The preceding generation can celebrate that the new generation learned how to run 7 feet farther or 5 seconds faster. It is not to do anything else but celebrate as that newer generation stands on your shoulders or lessons and improves their running style. It could also be their editorial style but may God be glorified. There is not a competition amongst generations as God would not have given you the children for that purpose.  You may have coveted the fact that your children were breast fed by their mother. maybe you were not. But, what if Daniel had that sense of loss or missing link; real or imagined but loved his people though and was a man of good moral character.  He did not covet but trusted God. Samuel was raised by Eli and not his own father. What does that mean?  It means that they are servants of God and submitted to Him and even when they weren`t  it is here that God called, chose and predestined them to be conformed unto the image of His son. See again if you can Romans 8.  If you need a breast,http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7loP7OsLZ8 read the back of the newspaper or be satisfied with the breasts of the wife http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUEkwrK9R3M of your youth and see Oliver Twist. He is a ``Samuel``. The Holy Spirit is also referred to as the breast of God or the Shekinah glory; feminine heart of God. Does it really matter if it was your mother`s breasts that nursed you or someone elses? God made you. At this stage of your life, you will murder your father and steal like a Cain. But, life is short in the pursuit of pleasure. You named your first child Commodus.  What if they, your children,  are not just trophies to sit quietly some where as you refer to them in conversation and say "...well I have a boy or ten boys somehow and my eldest did this or my youngest did that." They could be friends so that you don't have to just download updates or buy their cologne online or just download their photos from Playgirl magazine. Sorry; I meant download their sermons and essays. You are now paying attention.   Your apology is accepted again.
