Heritage ~ What Are We Building?

We each have an heritage.
And we are leaving one behind.
Where have we come from?
And what are we building?
Who is in our family tree?
And WHO is the Maker of us all?

We have been placed by HIM in the
family we are in.
None of us have perfect families,
but we have a PERFECT God.
Are we living our lives for HIM?

HE uses all things to mould us into HIS image
and to shape us for HIS use.
Are you mouldable?
Am I?


~ My Dad and his sister Fran around 1940 ~


~ Beverley, Fran, Don, and Walter ~


Continuing to number the "ordinary" blessings
in this life that HE has given...

771. A legacy to leave for our children

772. The ability to be useful in HIS Kingdom in this home ~
what a thought!

773. Heritage to discover

774. Following in HIS paths

775. Leading our young ones to do the same

776. Making memories

777. The first day back to school and the beach was quiet ~ perfect!

778. Walking at the beach with our children ~
these days are passing too quickly!

779. Thirteen-year-old who comes alongside me
and joins hands with mine

780. Eleven-year-old who joins in on the other side

781. The fresh fall weather

782. Sounds of the ocean and birds and crickets

783. The girl that notices and thinks and says some of the same things
I am thinking! How precious!

784. The flowers that are picked just for me and given with love ~
thank you Fraser! :)

785. Train rumbling by

786. Boys that run

787. Girl that jogs alongside and chatters

788. She asks "What are we having for lunch?" ~
I ask for ideas. We go home and make it together! :)

789. And "What are we having for dinner?" ~
And planning the rest of the day's meals together
hand in hand in joy...the days are flying by!

790. Returning to "order" and "schedules" and "back to school"

791. Clearing out and cleaning up

792. Fresh beginnings

793. The return of rain

794. The energy to do the things that need to be done

795. The wisdom to let some things go :)

Many Blessings,
Camille
