Precious Memories

Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked.
The memory of the righteous will be a blessing,
but the name of the wicked will rot.
Proverbs 10:6,7 NIV

Recently a dear cousin went to be with the Lord. She loved the Lord and her family living a long full life. Her commitment to the Lord and her family were obvious with her concern and prayers for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. The road her family traveled had some rough spots but she committed them to the Lord and He walked beside them while holding their hands.

Her family will greatly miss her but their memories of her will be a blessing in the years ahead. She has experienced the crown of blessings for the righteous and her family the memory of the righteous. Her family will have the memory of a righteous mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who prayed for them.

Will the memories your children and grandchildren have of you be a blessing? Ask God how you can be a blessing to your family as you leave spiritual memories in the lives of your children, grandchildren, and future descendents.

It’s the time of year when college-aged grandchildren are shopping for dorm room or apartment supplies as they prepare to begin a new adventure away from the home in which they grew up. No longer “children” but not yet independent adults. Grandparents must adjust their methods of connection with those I lovingly refer to as “chronological adults.”
