And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.

Luke 1:50

One of my Christmas gifts was a Digital Picture Frame. I can watch unlimited photos slowly scrolling on the screen. Looking at the faces of loved ones from the past and present brings me peace and joy. I’m always reminded how many people have shaped my life. Some of my earliest memories are of sharing my bed with my great-grandma when she visited. As I drifted off to sleep, I could hear her softly offer her bedtime prayer in German. Although I couldn’t understand her words, that memory has influenced my prayer life to this day.

Each photo tells a story, and every story reminds me of God’s promises fulfilled. Yes, every moment does count!

Dear Jesus, help me to share Your love and grace with the next generations. Amen.

Reflect: Create memories for our young that they might recall when they are older.
