Today is Feast of the Holy Innocents. When we read of
Herod’s (Father of the one who took John the Baptists life) anger it is hard to
believe that someone can act like this. Do you think there is a connection
between father and son?

Pray for those who have learned violence and fear from
their families. Ask that the light of Christ would break the cycle and bring
release and transformation.
What
verse speaks to you today? Repeat it slowly and allow the Holy Spirit to speak
through it.
And he passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, ‘The Lord , the Lord , the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.’

- Parents' life styles and life choices can a profound effect on children & grandchildren. When working in children's services I saw how hard it is to break the vicious cycle of drink/drugs/abuse etc. What legacy are we passing on to our families?
