Cup of Blessings from Generation to Generation
I wrote a post April 1, 2009, and later e-mailed it to many friends and family
members, entitling it in my e-mail, "The Blessings of A Wise Decision". I feel to
post again today.
"The Blessings Of A Wise Decision"
The thing about it is that we will either be blessed or cursed. If we choose not the
blessings of the Lord, many times we, in essence, choose for our children and our
grandchildren and succeeding generations.
For example, my family and I are living off of the blessings of a decision a little
Methodist grandmother made. My late father and mother, followed and also
embraced that decision for their family. I saw the blessings that followed their
family and many others that chose that path. Today our children and grand-
children are enjoying the blessings of decisions that were made by those going
before.
Oh, how I thank God for giving them the wisdom and fortitude to make the
right decisions. They didn't make those decisions based on any organization
as they did not know about organizations. They followed the leading of the
Holy Ghost they had received. The Spirit of Truth that would lead and guide
them into all truth. They counted on the Word of God to do just that, by the
Spirit that now dwelled in them.
Money cannot buy what was given me and mine. But I had to receive those
blessings for myself. We each have to receive that which is set before us, for
our generation.
Each generation should receive it as an inheritance and pass it on as a legacy
to their children, to pass on to their children's children.
We receive as an inheritance and pass on as a legacy.
I have seen generations that inherited a bad inheritance BUT was offered
a part of someone else's legacy, and gratefully received it and changed the
direction of their family.
I know a sister from Germany that came to the states as a child. She and
her mother was offered a part of someone else's legacy and partook of it and
for nearly 30 yrs have enjoyed the same legacy left to my family by that one
little grandmother and those who received it.
No. not everyone will realize the value of what was given them as an inherit-
ance but I do. It is the most valuable possession I own. Thank you, Jesus!
That sister has offered her children and grandchildren a portion of what was
shared with her from another's inheritance, but so far they know that it is a
good thing but some have chosen to revert back to the old former ways and
natural inheritance of their forefathers.
God gave His Son the nations (heathen) for an inheritance. For the joy set before him,
he endured the Cross, despising the shame, died for you and me. He saw us from the
Cross and endured it to save us. He died that we might live. But we have to receive
what he purchased for us. Life more abundantly. Eternal life.
Lord I Lift Your Name on High

Lord I lift Your Name on High,
Lord I love to sing Your praises,
I'm so glad You're in my life,
I'm so glad You came to save us.
repeat
You came from Heaven to Earth,
To show The Way,
From the Earth to The Cross,
My debt You paid,
From The Cross to the grave,
From the grave to the sky,
Lord I lift Your Name on High
Just some thoughts this morning that might give hope to a listening or
hearing ear.

If you are alive today, and have not done so, why not change your will and make a wise choice
today, based on better things, and better promises, for your family.
