Once on a Focus-on-the-Family broadcast, I heard a man describe how his relatives had prayed for their family for many generations. They pictured all of them—children and adults—with arms locked in an unbroken circle around God's throne. At the time I heard this description, no divorces had ever taken place, great and honorable work had been accomplished, and most importantly, every one that they knew of in the family were Christians.
Dave and I often pray 3rd John 4 for our family: "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." We want our children and grandchildren to not just walk with Jesus, but to be bright lights, always burning, in the part of the world they occupy. We name our children, our four sons-in-law, and now our four grandchildren one by one.
