GENEALOGIES
Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 1-4

Four chapters of genealogies.

Not exactly what I had needed to boost my spiritual level this morning.

I really could've used something a little more encouraging, thought-provoking and heart touching.

And then He revealed to me...

These are lists of people descended from other people.

People who share life-blood.

Folks who have touched the lives of many generations to follow.

Individuals impacted.

Offspring of invested time, effort and love.

Lives recording the touch of people who had gone before them.

It's going to make me re-think my dealings with the people I come in contact with today. It's going to make me pause. It's going to make me smile more sincerely, speak more kindly and offer a few more minutes of my time.

Who knows, but our God, who's genealogy of faith I might be written into today.
