Where do your roots come from?
30 Jul
I have to confess, I’m really into researching different parts of my family genealogy. On one side we have my grandmother’s family who are from Ireland and Scotland and on the other we have my grandad’s family who came from Spain. Getting information is really hard and although I have names and dates finding out more about my ancestors definitely isn’t an easy task. One of my mother’s cousins put together a book of their family that she’d been working on for over 15 years and it’s still not yet finished – apparently there was a King and Queen of Spain in the 12th century mentioned too.
Psalm 33:11
But the plans of the LORD stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations.
On the flip side I have the knowledge of knowing that no matter where my roots come from God made me and you in His image. He created me to be exactly who he made me to be. I have the blood of Jesus there to protect me, I have God’s grace, mercy and love. I may not know where my extended family came from originally but praise God that He knows every inch of me. He knows me inside out, He knows where I am at all times and thanks to Him I can pass on his good news to future generations through my children.
Ask yourself, what knowledge and foundations are you preparing for the generations to come after you’ve gone?
Very nice post.
Praise God for His creation of me and you. Praise God that no matter who our ancestors were, we are rooted in Him because of His love. Thanks for sharing this with us. I love your analogy. I used to trace my ancestors until I found out some unpleasant things about them, then I stopped. I’m glad I belong to God.
Amy,
Thank you for this post. It made me thankful for my extended family- my christians family. Hugs~
