​Don't be ashamed of our roots.

Scripture:
"I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also. For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.
2 Timothy 1:5-7 NIV

Application:
People have invested a lot of time in us. No one is a product of herself our himself. Our family elders prayed often, sacrificed for us, and stored up so much hope that we would carry the ball farther down the field than they did.
That ball is called faith.
So let's try harder each day to live up to the Gospel in their honor.

Prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank You for putting is where we are right now. Help us give honor to those who laid a faithful foundation for us. Amen.
