This past year, with it's downs and ups, has brought more serious thoughts my way.
Like; Ben and I are now who our parents used to be and our parents are now who our grandparents used to be. Meaning we are the ones who are now carrying the flame; starting new traditions or carrying the old ones on. We are now carrying the legacy to the next generation....our children.
We are also living the legacy of the path paved by our parents before us. With out them first paving the way (with their prayers and faithfulness), we'd be worse off and thus so would our children and in turn the world would be worse off as well!
Thank you God for giving us a legacy, whether it be starting with us or paved by our parents/grandparents! 1 Corinthians 1:4,8+9 "I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. He will keep you strong to the very end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful."
The picture was taken yesterday (Only the ones who golfed are pictured. Almost the whole family was there.) The Lewis family got together to honor our Grandpa Lewis on his birthday.

Katie, I found you through Heathers blog!
What a wonderful family for sure. Look at those brothers and how they all look alike. I was noticing the same thing in my Dad's brothers this past month...never noticed till one was gone.
Isn't it crazy, how we are now in our parents shoes? Oh, how time fly's.
Thanks for letting me peak into your life. Karen Martin
Thanks Karen! It is weird how we are in our parents shoes.
Hope to hear from you again......how's your family?

Pictures like these are priceless.
Have you heard the Nicole Nordeman song, "Legacy?" It's awesome!
