I was born in 1946 (that seems SO long ago!) The year I was born begins what the world has labeled “Baby Boomers,” babies born immediately following the end of WWII. There are labels applied to each generation.
Baby Boomers are 1946-1964, Gen X 1965-1980, Millennials 1981-1996, Gen Z 1997-2012, Gen Alpha 2013-2025, and the anticipated Gen Beta 2026-2039.
With each of those labels comes a “description” of traits. These labels group people within similar timeframes and are used to understand social trends, behaviors, and cultural differences. They are to be generalizations, not strict rules.
Still, I see many articles every day that says something like what I read recently, “What Millennials Wish Baby Boomers Would Stop Doing.”
That made me “return to thankfulness” remembering how our Great and Almighty God knows us personally and intimately. He does not lump us into a group. Take a moment today and read Psalm 139:1-2, Jeremiah 1:5, Luke 12:7, Psalm 139-13-14, even Hebrews 4:13.
Our God knew us before we were born. He “knit us together.” Our God knows us, even how many hairs we have on our head. Amen&Amen
