Today's Thought "Rare Contemplations" G.Ward

"Then David slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David." 1 Kings 2:10

I didn't have the pleasure in knowing either of my Great Grandfathers. I did however hear of their many contributions to our family's perseverance. I'm so very thankful for the positive identifiers existent in me today attributable to my patriarchal predecessors.
I'm wondering about the potential adoption of familial values by many of this modernity perceiving these historic expressions as antiquated.
Very particularly, what will my grandson's children know of my best approach to life? I could establish a legacy to ensure of my remembrance, it would most certainly have to involve a financial distribution of sorts (and they might still forget). To ensure a secure foundation, I must remain exemplary and true to my conviction in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Cor. 15:3-5). "Heaven and earth will pass away, but His words are forever" (Mt.24:35). Inevitably, all of our greatest grandchildren will face eternality's question. Can/will we on today, help their decision to prevail in the affirmative?

Happy Monday!
