Re: I Honored My Heritage
ILG,
Thank you for posting this. When I left the UPC it was very hard on my family. I have been trying to find a way to honor my parents because they did teach and mold me into who I am today. Even though I don't hold to the pentecostal beliefs anymore I am going to try my best to appreciate their beliefs and do what I can to honor their heritage.

Thanks DG. I am very pleased with the positive responses I have gotten when I posted this...I wasn't sure what to expect, but, when you feel you need to do something, I guess it doesn't matter what people think....still....the positive responses are a nice support.

Re: I Honored My Heritage
I don't agree with my Dad or Mom on some biblical issues,but I love them the same,I won't change my views for them,but I don't argue with them or act disrespectful to them.One can disagree without being disagreeable.
People should try to get along with their families.Because family is important.

Re: I Honored My Heritage
ILG, what a beautiful testimony!!
I love the pics-that part of Canada is beautiful.
I did something similar to what you did to honor my heritage. Though it was a private act, it brought some pieces of my life back together and brought a lot of healing, and though the healing has been slower for my family, it is still becoming obvious that there are bridges being mended there, as well.

Sometimes a private act is all that is possible. Sometimes I think any act is impossible. That is why, when I realized it was possible for me to do this, I felt strongly that I should. Any other year in my life, it would have been impossible to do it.
