How we live our Christian life matters. It matters not just for the here and now but for the years to come. When we choose the hard road to follow Christ we choose to bless generations instead of curse them. We erect memorial stones for others to see, to remember God’s work, God’s goodness, and God’s faithfulness in our lives. There are countless stories from great men and women of God that start with “my grandma/grandfather prayed, my mom/dad prayed”. They were faithful in their hard. Timothy is a great example of having a mom and grandma bring him up in the faith. They were faithful and blessed us all as we reap the benefits of Paul’s letters to him. You will never know this side of heaven how your simple faith, your memorial stones, your blessings will impact your own generational lineage.
