In Genesis 21, Abraham plants a tamarisk tree that he would never see fully grown in his lifetime. Why would he do such a thing? Because he knew it wasn't about him. He was thinking of the future and about the next generation of people who would benefit from the shade it would provide many years after he was gone. May we continue to be a church that does not forget or forsake the next generation. Rather, let us live in a way that shows we care about those who will live long after we are gone.
