Touching The Future

Romans 1:11
For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

Many people have little connection with their grandparents today. Time, distance and money are often the reasons given. But what a great loss to not have the experience and life stories past on to future generations. How far will your impact go in your family? Is the Christian home you are developing a one generation oddity? Will the lessons you teach your son be the lessons your grandchildren learn also?

Four times in the Bible the phrase, "iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation." appears. It tells me that my sin as a leader can effect the future for 3 to 4 generations after me. The warning is serious and obvious. Many of us know fathers with a serious problem and a son who has the same difficulty. Even if it is not the exact sin, the impact of wrong choices runs deep. Since I can cause harm to future generations, the same most go for blessings also. The correct decisions I make can bring joy and peace to my future generation.

What incredible impact a dad can make. Leaving a footprint of blessings or cursing for future generations to know. Even if I never meet the next generation or the generation after that, there will still be an impact left on them by Grandpa Sheridan. We leave more than DNA and a will behind gentleman. We are more than just a donor and a paycheck. We are dad and we make a huge impact.
