THEY HAVE NO TIME (MAKE TIME)

Nehemiah the prophet was much like we are. The fear,the sadness,the carrying about things others do not seem to mind! He cared about his city,his city being torn downed and the gates burned down.His ancestors were buried in that city.Ya know i seem to find people every where i go that are so wrapped up in whats right in front of them,that they just simply do not care about their family History or the family cemetery where passed love ones are buried. Try to get them to talk about it and they seem to be so hung up on some money problem,or drama etc. I remember how the WW2 generation,that raised me,made it a point to talk to me about their lives during hardships,how they survived etc. Yet when i try to speak to my kids and their kids about it ,there is no time. They have no time.I concern myself with that and i pray that will change. I have memories,yet i was able to talk with at least one of my grandparents. They did the talking i listened. And i never forgot.Well Nehemiah the prophet ask his King to let him go back to his home city,and rebuild it. The King wanted to know for how long. Nehemiah told him a specific date.Then the King agreed and then Nehemiah ask for safe passage to and from Judah his home,and he ask for written letters to give give all the authority to show he had permission.He ask for wood to rebuild the gates and for the house he would move into.Nehemiah had the hand of God guiding him,so the King gave him the letters he requested.all this is in the book of (Nehemiah chapter 2:verse 1-8) Listen up,stay prayed up,trust in our Lord,then people will see it,and you never know,the authority over us may see the hand of God upon our hearts and lives and grant us our request. I am sure Nehemiah ask God for this help,and the lord placed the right people in front of him. I like Nehemiah because he shows us to remember our forefathers and its a good thing to show them and their graves respect.Even the graves and lives of those we loved that have passed on. The cities they lived in,their interest,their passions.I feel i am in good company,and i see the Heavenly Father cares about what matters to me.Parents teach your children to respect their elders,the laws and commandments of God. Teach them to care about where they came from,and to protect it. Take it to the Lord in prayer and he will hear you.Read this story it will bless you.
