In case you haven’t noticed, one of my favorite things to post on this blog are pictures of my family. ‘The family’ is a very cherished blessing here in The Cain Family home. Each one of us children have acquired a desire for this blessing that God has given us. From the very beginning, my parents have sought to reveal to us the forgotten treasure of ” family” and have pursued to plant a love and affection for the beautiful things within the home. “Family” used to mean something to people and people used to see “Family” as the way God ordained it to be. It used to be recognized as a gift from God and was embraced as a way of godly living. But today, the family has become so removed and so foreign that people look at this gift of “Family” with disdain and hate, and do everything in their power to keep from accepting this God ordained blessing called “The Family.”
(Let me try to explain:) My Daddy and Mommy have laid out and explained to us in detail the true biblical idea of a “Multi-generational vision” for our family, meaning, my Daddy realizes how much ‘what we sow today” will effect not only mine and my siblings generation, but our children and grandchildren…and so on! He is not living with a mind-set to have us children out of the house as soon as we hit the age (18) and with heavy sigh saying, “Well, I hope they succeed out there in that dog-eat-dog world! No… in fact, he is living with the realization that his children and grandchildren’s foundation is solely rooted in what God’s word teaches us about HIS plan for life. So, why is family so important for this future vision in my opinion, Because the family is where it starts!
