Who Am I?
Have you ever asked yourself this question? We are going to
spend a day or two looking at it. Let’s see where our question takes us.
I started thinking about this on Sunday so I’m going to
start by looking at who I am based on genealogy.
Granddaughter:
Sam and Edith Nave and John and Louise Clement lived in the
mountains of North Carolina . They
raised my daddy and my mother and were wonderful grandparents.
Daughter:
Wallace and Pat Nave had three daughters. I can share
countless stories of my childhood and young adult years with my family.
Genetics does play a part in determining who I am. But environment during the
formative years is also important. And mine was wonderful.
Sister:
Lynne and Rachel paved the way for me, their baby sister.
Together we have made some beautiful music and will always be the best of
friends.
Mother:
Will, Patrick, and Lizzie call me mom. They definitely help
to define me. I have given them 30 years of my life and they have completed my
life in many ways.
Grandmother:
Emily and Dakota are very special to me. I am so blessed to
be able to spend time with them. And I love to hear them say, "I love you, Grammy."
Family helps to tell me who I am both because of genetics
and environment. I wear several hats in the family model and I’m fine with
that.
Lord, thank you for my family – past, present, and future.
Thank you for the ways You have taught me through them. Help me to be the best
sister, mother, and grandmother that I can be.
