Life Missions

My grandparents were career missionaries.

Yesterday, my parents officially became career missionaries as they were commissioned. That makes me an MK! (Surprise!).

It was a very special commisioning service. My brother and his wife were also commissioned for missions work at the same time. In addition to that, their youngest daughter was dedicated AND my wife was able to do the dedication (she is the Children's ministry assistant at our church).

We had a third family from church that was also commissioned as career missionaries during the same service. It is fun to see 3 families, from our church, giving their lives to God's service.

BUT WAIT... THERE'S MORE...

The mother/wife of the third family was my mother's roommate many years ago in bording school. I don't know a lot about their relationship, but I do know my grandmother found it funny that they were both being commissioned on the same day.

To top it all off, the 3rd family has a son who is dating my sister.

Looking around the room on Sunday, I realized how blessed I am to have the Christian Heritage I have.

I also realized the severity of my responsibility to raise my girls to continue that heritage.
