Friends I have been thinking about our Generations a lot lately. There seems to be an increasing interest in our ancestors and there are at least a couple of programs on Television about celebrities searching out their predecessors. As a result they are either made happy by their achievements or depressed by their misdemeanors.
All this leads me to consider the enormity of our influence on our children and our children's children. The decisions we make, when we are raising our children, can have amazing effect that will roll down through the generations.
Living for the now and self gratification - insisting on the big house, the trendy car, the designer clothes, "our freedom" when we could be sowing an incredible future for our children through their education, the places we take them and the priorities we display for them.
What sort of character will we sow into our children - who are we raising the next Prime Minister, a Researcher who will find a cure for Aids or Cancer or maybe another Billy Graham? Who knows what God has placed inside them if we take the time to know them and nurture them?
The World needs your footprints ... Love Jen
