Live To Tell It!

True, it’s best some things be forgotten, and the older version-of-me has little problem there!  Other things, however, which are remembered by the heart are not subject to much forgetfulness.  What a joy (otherwise called a “hoot”) to sit with my sisters and reminiscence of days-gone-by.  Mr. Bill declares when the “sustas” are around the table it is … the danger zone.

God makes it clear His blessings and precepts are to all generations!  “You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.” (Deuteronomy 6:7)  In this digital age when information is massive and mere clicks away, it’s amazing how many things are actually lost.  Hand-written letters, personal cards, and storytelling are almost extinct.  How many wonderful testimonies of The Father remain untold?  What about the wonders of Jehovah’s faithfulness passed to the next generation, or His abounding love to the righteous never spoken of?  It’s one thing to live it, as well we must;  what about telling of God’s greatness to the next generation.  “Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.” (Joel 1:3).  Let us be faithful with God’s blessings – let them be things remembered and repeated to our children and children’s children!  Let’s live to tell it!
