than to hear that my children are walking in Truth."
I John 1:4
What a heritage of faith is ours. R and I were both blessed with Godly, Christian parents and grandparents. They raised us in church, just as we are raising our girls. They taught us to study and know Scripture and to have a deep relationship with God and to try to be like Jesus every day! They taught us how to pray. Oh, I have fond childhood memories of kneeling by my bed at night and praying with my parents and praying with my grandparents when I would spend the night. My girls have these memories too!
They taught me that it wasn't enough for me to just go to church. I needed a Savior! It has been 32 years since I received Him as my Savior and Lord. R was saved 31 years ago.
Rachel was saved when she was six years old. April 4, 1999
Hannah was saved when she was 6 years old. November 16, 2003

How wonderful that is. What a blessing. I was raised in a Christian home but my husband was not. But he got radically saved in 91'. We actually went to the same High School lol. But didn't meet until 95. Thank goodness lol.
I love the picture that you did. It's awesome. Hang it with pride my friend.
Blessings to you.

How precious to have such a legacy. I love that your dad baptized both of your girls. My parents provided me with the foundations of my faith and we are doing the same for our girls. I pray Brian and I have many generations of believers in our "tree."
What a beautiful story of faith!
Blessings!
What a special WFW! Such a blessing! Thank you for sharing with us!
Amen! This summer I've been helping my sons memorize Psalm 100. Every time we say the last verse, "His faithfulness continues through all generations," I pray that their Godly heritage will be passed on through the future generations of our family.
That was so special. It is such a blessed moment when your child is saved and then baptized...... Thanks for sharing their special moments.
What a legacy of faith you are living and leaving for your children! I loved your post. The pictures of the baptisms are precious!!!! Your WFW picture and verse go great together. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my post. I love the verse you shared.
Praise God and what a beautiful story to illustrate the preciousness of becoming a part of Christ's family!
God bless you so much for sharing that and your sweet comment on my blog.

Beautiful legacy of faith. It truly is a blessing!
Ok, that brought me to tears! I pray that our children will continue what God has done in our lives as their parents. We are the first in our family to come to Him. We pray fervently for our family. Thank you for this beautiful post! You are a rare gem!
Happy WFW!

Hi Kristi, What a precious heritage you and your family has! Thank God for the privileges He has given you to be born and brought up in the love of God. Thanks for sharing this lovely and touching post with us. Love the picture and the way you put the verse in. How I pray that my family will know the Lord too. I am the only one now but I pray for them daily, and will not lose hope. May God bless you and your beautiful family that is so precious to Him! Take care and God bless!
Oh how blessed you are!! I have always wanted a testimony like that but unfortunately mine took a lot of turns before ending up at the cross! I am hoping that my kids will avoid some of my mistakes but there is never a guarantee. It is good to hear stories about families like yours, it is an inspiration!
Wow! What an incredible legacy of love and faith! I especially love that your Dad was able to baptize your girls! Rejoicing in this beautiful gift God has given you and your family.
Blessings,
Tracy
