EACH ONE CALLED FORTH
Both you and I, each one, are heirs of the Kingdom
and heirs of the spiritual gifts of Jesus Christ.
Yesterday , my daughter Karen called, all happy and
excited about a new discovery; a find, a link forward to our
ancestral family tree roots, dating into the 1600's.
In my childhood days, time spent with my Nana Hopkins, my father's mother,
there were stories and reminders that our origins here in America began
from that ship that brought the English from England over the ocean in the Mayflower.
The stories included a relative, a prominent man, who helped the Pilgrims settle and
befriended the Indians there...and we might even have Indian blood in our genes!
As a child, wow, that sounded so awesome, but were they just telling a story, or
was it true?
Well, the story goes that a Mr. Munsey, also a descendant of the family,
who owned a printing company, published a copy of our, so called, history.
The family supposedly had, and owned that one copy!
These stories stayed with me and were passed on to our children and grandchildren.
One day, our grandson Ryan and later, our grandson Jesse, were asked by their teachers
to interview a grandparent. They each had a list of prepared questions to ask
that brought out memories of those childhood stories once again.
That may have been what prompted me to go into research of the past generations history
and enter a phase of the generational Healing of our Family Tree.
As we sat at the kitchen table together, in front of Karen's opened computer,
all the Hopkins men and our past families became real!
Family from families past.Unwoven treasures of our inheritance!
She had discovered the "link"that connected us to 1642 and beyond!
What a Revelation...in more ways than one!
There was something even deeper going on that was not being grasped
at the moment!
