Would you permit a personal note today? This is a special weekend for me. I have the opportunity to return to the small town of my family ancestral roots, which go back to 1892. My immigrant great grandfather helped to birth a church in this little town in 1921, so we return this weekend for the ‘Centennial celebration’. That church sent my parents out to serve as foreign missionaries in the 1950’s and also sent my wife and I to do the same in 1986, and in 2014 that church sent our daughter and her family to a different part of the world, to do the same privileged work… bringing the Gospel of Jesus to far away places and the people who live there. My father is still living at age 94, and he will be there with us, as will our daughter and family who are coming back from overseas to that small village for this weekend as well. Thus there will be four generations of us together in celebration of what Jesus has done in that town in 100 years, and from that town all over the world! When you consider your heritage, your ‘roots’ may I ask what you see? Of course neither you nor I can take any credit or blame for our family heritage, we were born or adopted into it. But family is very powerful in affecting who we become as adults and what we pass on to our descendants, isn’t that true?
