Roots

For I am mindful of the sincere faith within you, which first dwelt in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am sure that it is in you as well.

2 Tim 1:5 (NASB95)

Not all of us have them but those of us who do should be grateful.  What am I talking about?  Roots!  Some of us have not grown up in Christian home.  Some of us do not have the legacy passed on of serving the King by our family.  But for those of us who do we should rejoice.

Paul reminds Timothy, a young Christ follower, who was serving as a pastor, of his roots.  He had been raised by a godly grandmother and mother.  They gave to him a foundation to build his life upon.

Today rejoice and say thanks for the godly roots that you have.  If you came from a background without those roots make a commitment to yourself and to the master to lay that foundation for your family.  You be the beginning root in your family tree.
