Do you remember yourself back in high school? How much time did you spend pondering the past and cherishing memories? Do you remember your parents or grandparents trying to share memories and stories from the past with you? Were you bored, distractable, even rude? My, how things change over the years. Those same stories that may have bored me at that time in my life have stayed with me and become part of my heritage to share with my own children. I'm so thankful for every picture, every letter, every card and every story that my family shared with me. They gave me roots, a foundation and something to grow my future on.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because sometimes we get weary keeping up with the recording of our family events, and we REALLY become weary with trying to share it with our high school students. Don't give up and don't be weary! That heritage becomes a precious that serves as a silver thread binding families together!
Sooner or later, those children will cherish those pictures, memories, stores, letters and cards.
The Bible encourages us to keep a record, and create memorials so that our children do not forget what God has done in, through and for our families.
Faith and Courage,
