“One generation plants the trees, and another gets the shade” Chinese Proverbs

“tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord…” Ps.78.4 ESV

A person’s greatest witness to their children about the value of faith in Christ is their own personal relationship with Him. This can be easily misunderstood though if the focus of our witness is misdirected. We want our children and grandchildren to behold God’s goodness not our own. But people often encounter the goodness of Christ in our love for them. This is why words become necessary and so we tell the old, old story in the new story of our own experience of grace. 5/25/2009 Conversations Within ts
