Good Day! Who influenced you most while growing up? Where did your religious influence come from; Minister, Parent, or Grandparent. According to a WSJ article divine mercy is best channeled by Granny. I must concur, Dona Margarita Ramonez, took time to Pray, Cure, and Cleanse my sole. Her Spiritual Grace instilled the Beauty of Faith into many people during her lifetime, “spanning generations’ grandparents influence on moral and religious life is Strong and Enduring.”[1]

Wisdom is “Strong and Enduring”; she breaks through barriers in life and settles in Truth. It might take years for that special someone in your life to crossover. True religious freedom is not about Where, Why or When, but building Grandparent like influence along the way.

“Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself.

For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed. He will judge everyone according to what they have done. He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.” (Romans 2:4-8 NLT)

An ancestors influence flows into one’s life over generations. Some traits are good others not so good, but God leaves a pattern for success. His luscious Blueprint is shared across the World by those who found its Strong Design, Beauty and Treasure; then go forth revealing it to others.
