The Grands Letter (GLJ)
Gene L. Jeffries, Th.D. on February 24, 2017 7:52 am (CST)Dear Grands,
Hebrews 13:7, “Remember those who led you,
who spoke the word of God to you; and considering
the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.”
Probably the last thing you hear from your parents
when they are leaving you behind is: “Now, don’t
forget to attend to those duties I’ve laid out for you.”
The Apostle Paul is concluding his letter to the
Hebrew (Jewish) people, when he says precisely
the same thing: “Remember those who led you…”
Most immediately, you will remember your parents.
They have known you more completely than anyone.
But you have a heritage that reaches back beyond
them. You have grandparents and great-grandparents,
and great-great-grandparents. What they all were
has had a bearing on who you are and what you believe
today. They all bear a heavy responsibility concerning
your spiritual life. And you have two parents. I hate
to think what my influence would have been on my
three children had it not been for the influence of
their mother. Her wisdom and attention to details of
our family’s life contributed immeasurably to the
welfare of your parents. Mothers contribute so much!
When the time comes for you to marry, be certain
that you follow the LORD’s will, because your union
will carry a heavy responsibility toward your children
and those who follow them.
We love you with His undying Love,
Nana & Dado III
