I can tell you that you are blessed to have obviously been raised in a home with so much communication and such a strong family bond. I personally did not but I am indeed breaking the pattern and creating my own new heritage with my son and with my wife. I recognize that our lifetime is but a moment and we will never have these days again with our children. (Psalm 39:4-5)

DONNA–Just recognizing the need to work on it and putting some effort that direction puts you miles ahead of most people. It sounds like you are on the right track!

Just kidding.

It is amazing the stuff we didn’t want to listen to as kids that have a great impact to us as adults and parents. This has been so fun to read!

It seems to me your dad didn’t just “talk” it, he lived it! Talking and living. Explaining over and over. Not quitting. That was a lot of hard work!

Yep, as you know, we are working on it. To be completely honest it feels like it is all up hill. It is a lot of work. Breaking curses so there can be a heritage. At the end of the day, I’m honored & humbled that the Lord called me to this work. Very humbled!

I’m thankful for the ground work your mom and dad laid. It’s an example the Lord has placed right in front of me and Jonathan—I think it is the Lord saying look, it is hard & lots of work, but I’m right here and it is POSSIBLE!
