It was one of those pictures that just happens. My sister in law saw the photo and snapped it. 80 plus years separate the two. Yet, music bonds them. He was playing as if he was in the band. Why? Because that’s what he has always known music. Grandpa has always been music come alive. What is he passing on to the generation next? Music, and yet not just music.
Psalm 145 reminds us that one generation shall praise your works to another. That’s prophetic. We have to be the ones to carry it on. We pass on recipes and traditions and music lessons but God is asking that we do a bit more. Tell the next generation about all God has done in our lives and in our world. It’s not hard: it’s spring. New bulbs are peaking out of the ground, the grass is greening up slightly and the trees are budding. But then again we need to share the works of God that don’t always come bursting forth out of God’s creation . Tell about Gods works in the kindness we show, the love we give, the choices we make that honor Him and the goodness we show to each other. Gods works are the lessons we learned and the poor choices we made but learned from about forgiveness and God loving us not to mention the answers to prayers and the moments of God speaking to us in the night. Grab, maybe not literally, someone from a different generation and invest in their lives so they see you praising the works of God. Sit and talk, play music, put puzzles together or play games and during that time let Gods works ooze out in your conversation.
