THE TIES THAT BIND: 4 GENERATIONS

HOW BLESSED I AM TO HAVE SUCH STRONG WOMEN IN MY FAMILY!! SOME OF THESE WOMEN HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND EXPERIENCED SO MUCH. SOME OF THEM HAVE NOT BEGUN TO KNOW WHAT LIES AHEAD FOR THEM . THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF LIFE AND ITS UNCERTAINTIES HAVE MADE THESE WOMEN WHO THEY ARE TODAY. THEY HAVE BEEN THERE FOR THE GOOD TIMES AND BAD, ALWAYS SEEKING GOD'S GUIDANCE, AND NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCE, GIVING GOD GLORY BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE SEEING THEM THROUGH IT ALL. THEIR TRADITIONS AND ADVICE WILL BE HANDED DOWN TO THOSE OTHER WOMEN SO THEIR LEGACIES WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN. THESE WOMEN ARE THE "BACKBONES" OF THEIR FAMILIES AND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ENDURED HARDSHIPS, SO THEY COULD BE THE ONES WHO SAID "IT WAS WORTH IT" FOR THE SAKE OF MY FAMILY. THESE WOMEN SPENT MANY TIMES PRAYING FOR THE SAFETY AND PROTECTION OF THEIR FAMILY.ASKING GOD TO GUIDE THEIR THOUGHTS AND GIVE THEM DIRECTION IS RAISING THIER FAMILIES. I AM SO PROUD TO BE A PART OF THESE WOMEN'S LIVES. THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME THAT FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN LIFE. THEY HAVE TAUGHT ME THAT BEING A WOMAN IS A HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE AND THE DUTIES OF MOTHERHOOD WERE SO REWARDING, BECAUSE YOU WILL DO ANYTHING FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FAMILY, TO BE THE KEEPER OF THEIR HAPPINESS AND CONTENTEDNESS, BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS STRONG LIKE THE ONES BEFORE US. MY BAILEE WILL CARRY ON THIS TRADITION AND SO WILL HER DAUGHTER. THESE ARE THE TIES THAT BIND, AND WILL BE BINDED FOR MORE GENERATIONS TO COME!
