Last weekend Nikki and I spent all afternoon baking, but not just anything we baked Grandmama Fullington's famous fruit cookies. It is neat to see things from past generations passed down and touching the younger generations. I hope and pray that I can be a mother that not only helps to pass along family traditions but also passes down the christian heritage that I am so blessed with.....There is nothing more important to me then seeing my children serving the Lord.
I pray daily that my children will continue to grow in God and develop their personal relationship with God. It really makes me strive to be a better person, a better Christian and a better mother.
Remember the key to passing things down to the next generation is not just telling them what to do, but showing them. If we don't live the lives that God has commanded us to live then how can we expect our children to? Think about it, if your children end up just like you are they going to be what they need to be and where they need to be with God? There is an old saying "If everyone in the church was just like me, what kind of church would this church be?" The same it true for our families....if everyone was just like me would they be functional, would they be serving God, would they be stable? Just a thought to pass on.......If you really think about it and examine your life it may make you want to change some of your attitudes, habits, goals, desires and more.....
Being a mother has it's many rewards, but above all it makes me appreciate my parents and the legacy they have given me even more...
What will you pass on to the generation behind you?
