For My Children's Children's Children...
~by Duncan Cary Palmer~I am not a man of fame
or notoriety.
Not mighty,
not well known.
Yet I've found a way to speak to you,
beloved child in my far future.
The Steemit blockchain remembers me.
Family may not read me now.
Yet, one, two hundred years
along the lengthy road,
you have found me.
You, my precious great-grandchild,
you, who never knew me face to face.
More than anything,
I want to tell you this:
Seek to know the creator.
The creator of all things.
He goes by many names.
In the west, the English-speaking world:
His name is Jesus, Jesu, Yashua.
His name means "Savior,"
Or "Deliverer."
He is the one,
The only one,
who can save you,
re-create you,
raise you from the dust
that I have now become.
"...there is no other name
under heaven
given among men
by which we must be saved."
Seek Jesus today.
Then, one day,
you will find me.
Then we will celebrate.
Together.
In the Glory.
With Much Love,
Papa
Love, Papa...

Leaving a message for the future in the blockchain is a truly great idea! :) Our children and grand children and even great grand children could see what we were like back in the day through this.
That's a beautiful inheritance for your grandchildren's children. It brought me to tears - what else is new?
Thank you, Dear... :D
you remind me so much of my late friend Wayne - he wrote letters and tracts to leave behind to his daughters - even enlisted Deb and me to evangelize them after his demise, but thankfully he lived to see them converted and attending church with him.
I am very thankful to hear that he saw his heart's heart's desire granted while still living... :D :)
yes, that was a consolation
Very inspiring and a real testimony of Jesus to others. Thanks for this @creatr I truly appreciate your writings my friend.!
Thank you for your encouragement, Troy! ;)
