Some thoughts shared about Family

From Wayne Christensen

"He who cares nothing about his ancestors will rarely achieve anything worthy of being remembered by his descendants"

From Ken Christensen

Remember the days of old; consider the generations long past. Ask your father and he will tell you, your elders, and they will explain to you.

Deut 32:7

There are only 2 lasting bequests we can give our children - one is roots, the other, wings.

The more thoughtful a man is, and the more conscious of what is going on within himself, the more interest will he take in what he can know of his progenitors, to the remotest of generations.
