Whether you have been a
believer all your life or you recently came to faith in Jesus Christ, you
have a story that your children and grandchildren should hear. If you have
been a believer all your life, you must have stories of answered prayer,
special guidance or victory over temptation. If you didn't come to faith in
Christ till you were old, you must have a story of a dramatic conversion.
You should record these stories and other precious memories for your
children and grandchildren.You might say, "They don't want to hear my old
stories." True, they might not want to listen to them now, but some day
somebody in the family may wish they had listened and taken note. That is
why it is important to record those stories soon. If you don't like
writing, speak into a tape recorder or have someone videotape you.
If your children or grandchildren are not believers, they might never to
go church, listen to a Christian radio station or read books by Billy
Graham, but some day they might eagerly read what their own mom or dad,
grandma or grandpa have written.
If among other interesting memories, you have also written or spoken
about your spiritual pilgrimage, yours might be the only godly message your
children and grandchildren will hear. Isn't that worth a bit of effort?
