How to pass on one's "goodly heritage"

Ps. 145.2 "Everyday will I bless thee..." Ps. 145.4 "One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts." The Psalmist, clearly in the winter of age, realized that the only way to give life lessons to the next generation was personal testimony. My greatest desire is to pass on the "works and mighty acts" the Lord has effected in my life to my precious girl. It is indeed often I remind her to say
  • "Lord willing, in this or that."
  • "One reaps what one sows."
  • "Always ask, "is it the Lord's will?
There are many other life lessons, of course, that may not get passed on, I am confident that my prayers of "His best" for her will come with the life trials and sorrows.  I feel at peace with the knowledge that she has a "goodly heritage" to draw from in the future.  I also feel sure she has learned to seek God's will in making good choices.
My heart is saddened by the thought of many things she must pass through to learn some of life's strongest truths.  But I am glad at the thought that she has a good foundation from which to discern trials and tribulations of life.
In conclusion, by His abundant grace I will continue to "declare His might acts and praise Him" all the day long,
In His Name,
Ps. 57.7
