Kyan Jerod Hogue - My Next Generation
On December 14, 2008, my daughter , Brittnie Monique Stewart, gave birth to a beautiful son, Kyan Jerod Hogue. My grandson came into the world at 8 pounds, 11 ounces and 22 inches long. He had a full head of hair and was such a precious gift for my family and me as we were preparing to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In no way did I forget the reason for the season, but Kyan gave me an added joy and reason to give God thanks.
After holding Kyan, kissing him on the forehead and speaking the blessings of God over his life, I began to think about the significance of his birth and its timing in history. A month earlier, America elected the first African-America as president when Barack Obama defeated John McCain. A month later, Obama was sworn in as America’s Commander in Chief. My grandson’s future is brighter.
Kyan is more than my grandson. He is the next generation of my seed. He represent the future of my bloodline. There is a special bond/connection with my grandson that is inexplicable. I know it is deeper than my emotional attachment. God promised me the same thing that He promised Abraham in the bible. He said that my seed would be blessed for generations and generations.
As a result, I look forward to playing ball with Kyan, watching him grow into a strong young man and one day deciding for himself whether he wants to be president of the United States one day. In the mean time, I bought him his first Nikon camera and his first bible. He’s off to a great start. And I’ll just keep photographing him.
