Oswald Sanders in his book on Spiritual Leadership states that leaders can influence others toward the "uplands" or the "lowlands". We are all influencing someone whether to the upland or the lowland. As mothers and grandmothers this is part of creating a heritage. What will they remember about us? What part of us will they carry with them forever? Will it be our faith, our love, or something less noble like a habit of anger or a bitter spirit.
We cannot change everything at once but by God's grace He can help us change through His enabling power. None of us should be content to stay in the lowlands. Lift up your eyes and see the uplands ahead rich and green and begin taking one step at a time....today, not tomorrow.
Psalm 121:1-2 - I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
