Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread.

Our Reading titled A Grandma's Faith was written by Alison Keita.

We were seated around the dinner table when my nine-year-old grandson said with a smile, I'm just like grandma. I love to read. His words brought joy to my heart. I thought back to the

year before when he'd been sick and stayed home from school. After he took a long nap,

we sat together side by side reading. I was happy to be passing along the

legacy of loving books that I'd received from my mother. But that's not the most important legacy I want

to pass on to my grandchildren. I pray the legacy of faith I receive from my parents and sought to pass on to my children

will also help my grandchildren in their journey toward faith. Timothy had the legacy of a godly

mother and grandmother and a spiritual mentor, the Apostle Paul.

In 2 Timothy 1.5, the Apostle wrote,

I am reminded of your sincere faith,

which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice,

and I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

We may think our lives haven't been positive enough to be a good example for others.

Maybe the legacy passed down to us wasn't a good one.

But it's never too late to build a legacy of faith into our children, grandchildren,

or any child's life.

Through God's help, we plant seeds of faith.

He's the one who makes faith grow.

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, in keeping with the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,

to Timothy, my dear son, grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus,
