A man's lot in life. His heritage can greatly influence his ensuing life.
Godliness passed down from generation to generation is not a guarantee but it certainly enhances the "chances" of a continuance of a spiritual heritage.
A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children,...(Proverbs 13:22)
Eleven years ago,son Buddy started "heritage trips" with his "first born" son. This year was his last "trip" year as he brought son #5 to Memphis to "show" him all his special childhood places and included a day on Liles Lane at Pickwick (fishing, shooting, swimming) and exploring the lake with extended family.
It involves an air flight---just daddy and one son. That, in and of itself, is a big deal when you have 4 brothers who remain at home.
For me, I love the anticipation of this time.
Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children. (Proverbs 17:6)
The "going"----NOT so much.
But I.....still "puddle" when any of my "grands" leave!!
But God......reminds me, "What a blessing to see your children's children." (Psalm 128:6)
It is a BIG earthly blessing!!!!
