WHO WE ARE

Today's reading: 1 Chronicles 1-4

If these chapters were to be written today, they might read something like this...

Harry Senior and Annie married and begat Harry Junior. Percy and Maude married and begat Mary Malinda. Harry Junior and Mary Malinda married and begat Bob.

Andrew and Bessie married and begat Ernie. Carl and Edna married and begat Mary Edna. Ernie and Mary Edna married and begat Nora.

Bob and Nora married and begat me!

We are all part of who we have come from--good or bad.

We have gained DNA, character traits, personalities, health tendencies, eye color and even some faith, or lack of it, from our ancestors.

It's not always our choice as to what we receive from our former generations, or what we will pass on.

But we can make the choice to pass on Jesus to the loved ones that follow us. Pass on the foundations of faith. Pass on the tenets of Christianity.

Pass on our testimonies.
