Legacy worth leaving

I didn’t get to meet my grandpa on my father’s side. He died before I was born. My Dad talked about him to me quite a bit. He was a quiet man who when he spoke said something meaningful. He held his temper and didn’t use foul language. Both of my Grandmothers were believers as were both of my parents. Prayer and Bible study were always present in our home growing up. I was a rebel. I went hard the other way but all the while hearing God’s word daily. My Mom’s knees were worn from praying for me as I tested her faith over and over with my wild behavior. Today though I am saved! With huge tears I tell you that I am grateful for my family. They lived their lives for Christ regardless of how I felt about it. I was their persecutor, but they lived on doing what was right in God’s eyes! Because of their faith I too have come to believe! Paul was writing to his young friend Timothy. In 2Timothy 1:5 he writes, I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois, then in your mother Eunice and I am convinced now lives in you also! If you think you don’t have a mission, or a purpose to fulfil for Christ, or you think you can’t share the gospel of Jesus because you can’t go anywhere, I am living proof that the mission field begins right in your home! Who wouldn’t do everything possible to save their kids? Well, with their eternal lives at stake, shouldn’t we be doing all we can to save them? Living out our faith in church is great but how do we live at home? That’s where our family sees us most. That’s where it counts!! Oh God, please help us to understand how important it is to live out our faith in our private lives at home as well as in public! Thank you for the legacy of my family that if it wasn’t for their tenacious faith I may never have known you!!
Love you all!! Have a good day!!
