Grace to you,

Guess what? It's my Birthday today!

I'm no Drama Queen though.

I'm actually overjoyed today because God is speaking to me.

I found myself making some Old Fashioned Italian Tomato Sauce this morning.

Know who else used to make Old Fashioned Italian Tomato Sauce on special day's?

My Dad, he made sauce on his day's off or special days like Birthday's. He used to show me how his Uncles Grandfather, and Father used to make it. Then he'd go to the store to get some goodies and leave me there with the most important job. Stirring the sauce on a low simmer every 20 minutes or so.

I'm going to allow my daughter and son, my eldest two, to stir the sauce today while I go shopping for some goodies.

Ever notice how things get passed down?

My Father is a second generation Italian Immigrant. His Grandfather came over at the turn of the century, soon to be followed by his wife and children, my Grandfather. My Grandfather died in WW2 and my Dad was left with no Dad at a young age. Yet he had his Uncles and then family members. Then his Uncles died too.

His Father died defending our Nation from tyranny. He went back to Italy to be a translator and died, his brothers died too. Yet my Dad carried on and lived, he did not die. He remembered how to make the Sauce. Maybe they allowed him to stir it too?

Here was a family fleeing tyranny then running right back into it after tasting Freedom to help others too.

Eph 2:10

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.

I want to be like Dad, yet I have a greater Father than he. The Bible always speaks about generations and even names them, "so and so is the son of so and so and so on................................"

God want's you to stir the Sauce! It's a very important job and there are so many waiting to taste that Sauce.

Jesus came to set you Free. After having escaped tyranny, let's not forget to be mindful of those who have not yet tasted Freedom. Let us rush that hill where the machine gunners lay down fire, (That's where Grandpap died winning a metal for Valor), and Liberate those who clearly speak like us. Who's more Valorous than Jesus?

Let's be Like Daddy today, stirring the Sauce is a very important job and may be the first step into a Godly heritage of making the Sauce.

Today's my birthday and 41 years ago today I came to earth from God. However, about ten years ago, I was born again, I returned to God through Christ Jesus. I was made for God. I have a Godly heritage and a spiritual inheritance, I was made to make Sauce on special day's.

Today's a special day beloved and there are many awaiting an eternal birth.

You were made by God and sent to earth, to return to God, and lead others to Salvation for Gods greater Glory. Teach someone to make some Sauce today. It will lead to a Godly heritage and a Spiritual inheritence.

Be blessed beloved, be so very determined to be blessed.

Peace,

Dave
