II Samuel 7:22 ” How great You are, O Sovereign Lord! There is no one like You, and there is no God but You, as we have heard with our own ears.”

Verbal histories from our elderly family members give us insight into just where we come from.  Those precious stories are filled with important events, human struggles, and surprising accounts of things we had no prior knowledge of.  Within those verbal histories,  we hear bits of wisdom, sage advice, personal warnings, and lots of humor.  With our own ears we listen as important information is given to us about the past.  But have you ever thought about how important it is to give a “verbal history” to your children or grandchildren about God’s influence in your life?  A once I was… but now I am… testimony showing the Lord’s redemptive power over sin in your life is more important than any other story you could share with them.
