Why I kiss my kids.

Great quote about giving the “blessing” of your love and favor to your children ~

Do not kiss your children so they will kiss you back, but so they will kiss their children, and their children’s children ~ Noah benShea, poet, philosopher, author.

“Blessing” is not about me, and its not about my children only - its about the following generations. And with the blessing of family favor we pass to our children, we are passing forward our knowledge and experience with God. God designed the human race to “bless forward” to the next generation, in terms of love, education, inheritance, and spiritual formation.

“Blessing” is a generational gift - it doesn’t dead-end with just my three children - it will keep giving to each generation following.

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children - with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. Psalms 103:17-18

These are the commands, decrees and laws the LORD your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the LORD your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life. Deuteronomy 6:1-2
