FUTURE GENERATIONS
Today's reading: Psalm 102-104

"Let this be recorded for future generations, so that a nation yet to be created will praise the Lord. Tell them that the Lord looked down from his heavenly sanctuary. He looked to the earth from heaven to hear the groans of the prisoners, to release those condemned to die." Psalm 102:18-20 NLT

I hope my son wants to know the 'family recipe' for Mama's Vegetable Soup and Papa's Chicken Salad and Granny's--well, Granny doesn't cook, so we'll have to pass on that one, but cherish the time spent going with Granny out to eat.

I hope my son is interested in the rich family history our family has in our community.

I hope he remembers the Christmas Eves spent reading the Christmas story in the barn.

I hope he remembers seeing me daily at my 'prayer chair'--for him and for our family and for my heart's burdens.

I hope he considers being a part of a church family, church attendance and ministry participation to be of utmost importance.

Of all the things I hope to pass on to my son, may the Gospel message be at the top of the list!

That he hears from my lips how God has set me free. How God has heard my prayers. How God looked down from His sanctuary and saw us in need--and sent Jesus.

My son's own home, his own family, has yet to be created, but I pray the Gospel message is carried from this house to his.
