Rebecca Ann Shuler penned the following words: Johnnie came over and sat until bed time. We always enjoy his visits. I thank God for my dear children and hope to see all of them faithful servants of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This may not seem particularly insightful. You may have said prayers like this for your family. But this prayer is especially meaningful to me for one reason - it was written by my great, great grandmother over 80 years ago. Johnnie, her son and my great-grandfather, grew up with a heritage of faith. And that heritage has been handed down to me. I know that without the prayers and faith of those who have gone before me I could never be the person that I am today. These faithful men and women laid a foundation upon which my life is built. They sowed and I have reaped. I often wonder, how can I pass on this heritage of faith to those who come after me? How can you have the kind of impact that makes a lasting difference in the lives of your family and friends?
