Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:
And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Malachi 4:5-6
For more years that I can count I have been learning about and searching for my ancestors along with my husbands in order to give my kids a glimpse into their heritage and who they are. There are few things more rewarding than connecting with an ancestor who left this earth long before you were born. I can't begin to tell you the love I have found for these ancestors since I have learned their stories. If in my life I have convinced one person to learn about their ancestors than I will count that as a success! I have been blessed with a hertiage more rich than I can find enough gratitude to express it well enough.
I am thankful for my rich heritage!
