A Great Legacy

A beautiful memory of my childhood is when I saw my mother, Carmen, participating in a Bible lesson one day. I asked her teacher if I could receive the same discipleship lessons, since the crossword puzzles and word-search puzzles in the lesson booklet had caught my attention. Another day, Mom gave me some colorful magazines with cartoons of various characters such as Moses, Joseph, Jeremiah, Paul, and Jesus. Reading the picture stories was exciting for me, and it gave me the knowledge to be able to raise my hand to answer my Sunday school teacher’s questions.

In a similar way, my grandmother Judith’s faith inspired me. I loved to sing Christian songs at the services that were held on the terrace of her house. She is now with the Lord, but she will always be in my heart.

In the Bible, we read about how Eunice and Lois were very influential in Timothy’s life. They provided a great legacy of faith for him. Their examples remind us of how a mother and grandmother can be greatly used by God and leave an eternal impact by raising children well.
