God 1st; then Good Family and Friends

I am totally amazed at God's design to make genetic characteristics pass from one generation to another! I am equally delighted at HIS design to cause our spiritual giftings and callings to pass from one generation to another. Just let me say I am "one proud Momma". My youngest daughter is an awesome woman of God and I am honored to be her mother. Her heart for God inspires me on a daily basis. The God-factor in my daughters is truly one of the greatest joys of my life. My heavenly Father continues to make room for each of us to be exactly what HE designed us to be. I was once criticized for using my daughters as an example in a message I was preaching...I am saddened for the other person as I reflect back. Her criticizm stemmed out of pain, it is my prayer that God cause her to be whole in her relationships with her children and that God redeem her off-spring because of HIS great love and grace. Forgiveness is sometimes walked out in steps...we can think we have forgiven others and yet we find traces of the offense much later. Lord, teach me to forgive as you forgive. Hallelujah, Jesus Christ totally forgave me...there is NO trace of unforgivenss in HIS divine nature. You too can walk free!
