Daily Devotion for June 15th

Our Legacy
Read Psalm 78:1-8
Moses spoke for the Lord, "Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children."
-Deuteronomy 6:67 (NRSV)
EVEN though my son-in-law is a professional businessman, he has great skills as a handyman. That's why I asked for his help with some home repairs.
It surprised me that my three-year-old grandson "worked" alongside his father, plastic tools in hand. I once asked my son-in-law where he learned his skills. He replied, "I learned what I know from my father. I had my own tools, and he allowed me to help with different projects. I hope to teach my son in the same way."
This is how our values, conduct, and teachings are passed on - children learning from their elders. It is crucial for us believers to spend time with the children in our lives, teaching them eternal truths and guiding principles that will make them strong Christians. This can be our legacy - passing what we have learned about God and the faith to the next generation.
Eunice de Hernández (Puerto Rico)

O Lord, help us use every opportunity to teach children what we have learned from you. Grant us the time and the wisdom for that task. Amen.

Thought for the Day.
To whom am I passing on my faith?
