Lineage of Grace

This weekend I was flooded with memories of my mom and my grandparents who have gone to be with Jesus.  It has reminded me of the vastness of the blessing of my family.  I know not everyone has such a great experience and I am sensitive to that.  I must say, in light of my memories, I am overwhelmed by the love of Jesus I got to see in each and every one of my grandparents and even in the great grandparents that I knew.  God has given me a lineage of grace through both sides that is incomparable.  So in remembrance of my dad's side, Great Grandma Opal, Great Grandpa Teel and Grandpa Ralph and on my mom's side, Great Grandma Elsie, Grandma Betty, Grandpa Lenard and Mom, Becky Teel, I am eternally grateful for the gift of Jesus you showed and the way you walked with Him.  Hopefully I will be able to continue the lineage of grace.  Thanks be to God who goes behind us, beside us, and ahead of us!  Remember not all family is blood, so who has been your lineage of grace?
