Family Legacies

FAMILY LEGACIES
No matter who we are, where we live, or what our goals may be, we all have
one thing in common: a heritage. That is, a social, emotional, and spiritual
legacy passed on from parent to child. Every one of us is passed a heritage,
lives out a heritage, and gives a heritage to our family. It's not an option.
Parents always pass to their children a legacy…good, bad, or some of both.
Today, if we don't intentionally pass a legacy consistent with our beliefs to our
children, our culture will pass along its own, often leading to a negative end.
It is important to remember that passing on a spiritual, emotional, and social
legacy is a process, not an event. As parents, we are responsible for the
process. God is responsible for the product.
or another. As parents, we need to take the initiative and present our faith to
our children.
Which characteristics would you like to build into the legacy you pass along
to your children? Even if you don't hit the exact mark, setting up the right
target is an important first step.
In order to prosper, our children need to gain the insights and social skills
necessary to cultivate healthy, stable relationships. As children mature, they
must learn to relate to family members, teachers, peers and friends.
Eventually they must learn to relate to coworkers and many other types of
people such as salespeople, bankers, mechanics and bosses.
Parents who successfully pass along a spiritual legacy to their children model
and reinforce the unseen realities of the godly life. We must recognize that
passing a spiritual legacy means more than encouraging our children to
attend church, as important as that is. The church is there to support parents
in raising their children but it cannot do the raising; only parents can.
We all have good and bad parts to the legacy we have inherited. The key is to
move forward from here. For some, taking a closer look at the legacy they've
been given helps them assess the legacy they want to pass on. After
considering your past, here are some practical tips for the future:
Whatever you received, you can now intentionally pass along the good. This
isn't always easy. If you saw hypocrisy in your parents' lives, you may be
tempted to throw everything out even though much of what your parents
modeled was good. Don't. That would be like burning down the house to get
rid of some bugs.
Realize that there is a being who can redeem even the "bad stuff" in your
legacy. Unfortunately many of us have parts of our legacy that are weak or
even awful. Maybe one of your parents was an alcoholic or abusive or didn't
provide the nurturing you needed. In today's society, the stories of such
families are common. You may be asking, "How do I give something I didn't
receive? Nobody modeled this stuff for me."
Hope is not lost. Consider the story of Josiah from the Old Testament in the
Bible. His father and grandfather were involved in many wicked things,
including idol worship that threatened the entire nation. But after 8-year-old
Josiah became king of Judah, he reversed that trend. He sought God and
purged Judah of idols, repaired the temple and saved a nation.
Like Josiah, you can choose which things in your legacy are no good and
throw them away. It's important to break the cycle of hurt by leaving bad
things behind and creating a new legacy. Legacies are not easily broken and
always benefit from His guidance.
Chart a new course as you begin a positive legacy for yourself and those you
love. Research suggests that most fathers will parent the way they were
parented. That means only a minority of fathers will change their parenting
style even if their parenting is wrong! Today, you can take positive steps to
design a new heritage for yourself and your family.
