But take care and watch yourselves closely, so as neither to forget the things that your eyes have seen nor to let them slip from your mind all the days of your life; make them known to your children and your children’s children—
Passing on faith
Or
Passing - on faith
Which will it be?
Will we remember the stories told to us?
Will we tell them to the next generation?
Will we share the love
of all who taught
and nurtured us?
Or will we let that nourishing die on our watch?
Will we hold back
crushed by the fear
of getting it wrong
or treading on toes
or even of triggering painful memories?
Or will we share our stories anyway
and invite others to engage
with them
and with us
and with a God
who deals in stories
that are shot through
with love for all
no holds barred.
Passing on faith
Or
Passing - on faith?
