Legacy of Love

Jen is dating a guy who is amazing and comes from an amazing family; many in his family including his mother have been called among the general leaders of the church. I have to admit its intimidating. It has given me reason to reflect where I have come from and the strength of my family. I come from strong women, both converts; pioneers in their own sense...both faced struggles and hardships and bore less children then desired, but from those meager tree starts have sprung a plethora of grandchildren and an even greater branching of great grandchildren. We may not come from giants within church leadership but the level of unconditional love and closeness in relationship between siblings, cousins, grandparents and parents is unmatched by any other family I have seen. We have come from a Legacy of Love, carried down by stalwart women. And for that I am truly grateful! I pray that I will be able to carry on this legacy with the same level of depth.
