Have you ever been given something that is
priceless? You know that item that could
never be bought with money. On my wall,
at the end of the hall, hangs a beautiful portrait of my Grandma in her wedding
dress. Back in 1947, Grandpa shared a photo of his
lovely bride to a German painter and the painter captured the essence of my
Grandma on a canvas. That canvas has
adorned Grandma’s wall ever since. Well,
that is until recently. You see now
Grandma has gone to heaven and I was asked if I wanted the portrait. There are no words to express my awe that I would be able to continue
the legacy of the portrait adorning someone’s wall.
Grandma didn’t just leave me a canvas to hang on a wall;
she left me with an even more priceless gift!
Grandpa and Grandma raised seven children and their faith was very
evident. My dad took what was instilled
in him and passed his love for the Lord onto me and my brothers. I now have the opportunity to pass that love
onto my three children. Verse 4 of Psalm 78 states, “We will not hide them from
their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the
Lord, His power, and the wonders He has done.”
What an amazing gift you give your children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren and the generations to follow when you share the love of
the Lord.
Take moments each day to share that amazing gift with your
children. Point out the beautiful
creations that God has made. Share how
Christ helped you through the day. Pray
together. Study scripture together. Whatever you choose to do leave that
priceless gift with your children!
