To My Children And Their Children…

Written By Sheila Atchley

To each of all my four children. To their spouses, their significant others, and every beautiful mama of every grandchild…

…and to every child, generations to come, who walks the earth a speck of my DNA twirling as helixes in their blood…

To my children’s children’s children who will one day search for an ancestor.

Hi. It’s me. Your great…grandmother. I’ve put my prayer prints on you, down ten generations.

I am an artist. Chances are you feel an intense drive to paint, write, play an instrument or sing (those last two come from your great (great-great…) grandpa. Not me.).

I hope you follow that passion. And I hope your gifts lead you straight to the Jesus, the Giver of them, as gifts are meant to do.

I have a short, two minute message for you.

PS. I love you.
