The WORD today (see http://usccb.org/bible/readings/101913.cfm) reminds me that we all inherit good traits.
We all inherit traits from our parents. When one is tall, people automatically ask if the parents are also tall. We know that we inherit traits and characteristics from those who came before us.
In the first reading, we see that we inherited a great faith from Abraham. He was a man of faith, of great faith, as we see in the reading. In his old age, he believed God's word that he will not only have a son, but numerous descendants as well.
"He believed, hoping against hope, that he would become the father of many nations, according to what was said, Thus shall your descendants be."
May we always remember that deep inside us is a descendant of a great man of faith, and that we too have that faith, we only need to continually nourish it and practice it.
Father God,
Thank you for today. Thank you for another weekend. Thank you for giving us Abraham to inspire us with a great faith. Lord i ask that you help me strengthen and develop my faith so that as i use it, i may also inspire others and pass it on to my descendants. Amen.
Blessed day!
In Christ,
