Thanks, Ciku, for sharing. Will pray for your continued development, growing wisdom and blessed posterity.

Thanks, Dx, for sharing your post. Interesting since my next piece is on that parable, but a different take.

I agree with your theme, the loss of posterity, that it has become much less important to us. I also agree that it can only be re-built one day, one child, one family at a time. But I’d also like to suggest that you re-visit the parable of the talents as a guideline for responsible stewardship. Here’s someone with a different take on it for your consideration …

I am just about to start life on my own as I am a recent graduate and I am glad that I have come across this truth now. What is more challenging is that I am a woman in Africa and the responsibility of leaving an inheritance for our children’s children has never been clearly defined for us/me though I will do it somehow. But as for leaving a spiritual legacy, that I can do by grace and wisdom from the word of God. I suppse we should be living in the moment, but not for the moment. Live our lives as though we are focusing on a task without forgetting the goal.
