Let me relate some closer home. Our family.

In 1926, my paternal grandmother was dying of typhoid fever.

The doctor told her husband that she was dying and showed him

the bluish color on her feet and legs. My dad, eight years old, stood

nearby and heard these words. Before she lapsed into a coma, my

grandmother prayed these words, "LORD, if You would see fit, let me

live to raise my three children". Around four o'clock the next evening

she awoke, her fever had broken and she would live. Not only would

she live to raise her own three children, but she lived to see our first

grandson born. He is twenty four years old, and a licensed young

minister of the gospel. Five generations followed her.

If Grandma Blakey had not read the Bible over and over as a devout

Methodist, she might not have had the faith to believe He could and

would heal her. If Grandma, as a young 20 wife, and mother to be, had

not read her Bible and prayed that if her child was a son, that the LORD

would make him a minister of the gospel, things would possibly have been

a lot different in our family today. She changed the course of history for

our family. I have gone into my living room and looked into the faces of

my grandmother and parents and with thankfulness, with tears, thanked

them for my godly heritage. What we are today is not what we have done

but choices those who went before us made for us. We have the choice to

not carry on what was bought and given to us by those who paid a price

to bring it to us. It started with Jesus Christ. His apostles and on down

from generation to generation. What have or what will the generation that

has been given to us!!!

Blessings,

That I will be as David: "He served his generation and then he died".
