When I teach my children of God, I am doing it in remembrance of Him.

When I read my Bible, I am doing it in remembrance of Him.

I usually sit between my girls during communion and I have them each tell me when they accepted Christ as their personal Savior.  I want to know that they know that they are on their way to Heaven.  It NEVER gets old hearing them tell me of the day that they became a child of their Heavenly Father.

You see, my husband and children are all that I can take with me to Heaven one day.  Everything else will pass away and be nothing.

This do in remembrance of Me.

Dear ladies, as we go about our daily and sometimes mundane tasks, remember that we are doing it in remembrance of Him.

Until next Monday,

Rebekah

    Bekah,
    We had communion this week as well. I find it difficult to take communion with out crying. Thank you for your insights into doing all in remembrance of Him. Mom
