Descendants

“Only be careful, and watch yourselves closely so that you do not forget the things your eyes have seen or let them slip from your heart as long as you live. Teach them to your children and to their children after them.” Deuteronomy 4:9

“Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.” Deuteronomy 7:9

“Children’s children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children.” Proverbs 17:6

“’As for me, this is my covenant with them,’ says the Lord. ‘My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children, or from the mouths of their descendants from this time on and forever,’ says the Lord.” Isaiah 59:21

Wow, those verses take on a whole new significance after receiving news that there will soon be another generation in our very own family.

The gift of life

We are thrilled that Kolya and Jeanne are expecting a child of the covenant this fall. What a blessing to claim His promises!
