Linda knows first hand the value of having a supportive family. She remembers her grandmother telling her, "You come from strong stock, you can handle it," when she went through a difficult time in her life.
At a low point in her life Linda was unable to be with her family for a holiday. Her youngest cousins made a scrapbook for her filled with pictures of the entire family. There was a place where family members would write words of encouragement to her. "It was the most precious gift I have ever received," Linda says. She remembers her grandmother's faith in God. "She instilled in her family the importance of family," Linda reflects, "having strong convictions and a strong faith."
The apostle Paul was in prison, his crime was preaching the good news of Jesus Christ. In his letter he fondly recalled the faith of Timothy's mother and grandmother. "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, lives in you" Paul wrote. Paul was certain that the faith of young Timothy's grandmother and mother had been instilled in him. When Timothy faced low points in his life he would remember the faith of his mother and grandmother. His faith would carry him through the darkest moments. The same is true for us, we remember the faith of those who have gone before us, who experienced difficulties but remained strong in their faith.
