I had posted about my late Grandmother, Lizzie Blakey, the first of our
family to hear and obey Apostolic truth.

This is the generations of our family (and there are other of our family
members that embraced this truth also.) But I am speaking of my line
of the family, beginning with the eldest, our firstborn daughter who turned
49 last week.
Grandma Lizzie Blakey - First convert
Her son, Robert L. Blakey, my father.
Me - Falla39, and my firstborn, Glenna,
Glenna - her first firstborn, Philip
Philip - and we just learned his firstborn is on the way-
??? - will take us into the 6th generation of Apostolic Truth.
The New Testament Plan of Salvation...in His Blood.
Two cups, one choice. The cup or Blessings OR the cup of
cursing.
Matthew 26:26-29 KJV
26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

I can testify that many in our family have tasted the cup offered first to
Grandma Lizzie and her son, to me, (along with my ten siblings and their
families. To our children and to their children. And now to our first little
GREAT grandchild we found out about yesterday, Father's Day!! Forty nine
years ago, our firstborn
was born on Father's Day! This will be her first Grandchild. The beginning
of the 6th generation who will have partaken of this cup of Blessings, in His
Blood.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!
Chorus
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
