The story of your family

Today a lady originally from Germany came to our house and told us her story.  She was born in 1936.  Her father is Missing in Action and her mother and two brothers had to move several times during World War II.  It was fascinating!   I am so thankful that she would take time to share her story with my family.  I am so thankful that we were born and live in America.  Make time to hear from the elders in your life.  They have so many wonderful stories to tell.  Ask them how God has provided and been faithful to them through the years.  It will encourage you and your family.  Think about the Israelites - one of their main responsibilities was to pass down their history to their children.  We are missing out on this blessing today.  Don't be so busy living that you miss the "story" around you.  The story of your family.  I will be listening to my grandparents when I see them in a few weeks.
