The following is taken from a past outline I wrote in order to organize some of my life stories and events. It has since been filled out considerably. I share it here with you for an idea of an outline for your own story telling to your family and for those who follow you! These will be your true stories!
True stories about the events and occurrences that impress us and teach us are a great family tradition to pass on to those who follow us …..
The following list of topics taken from Psalm 143:5-12 makes a good source for stories I should look for in my life. These stories are both a history and an impactful teaching tool for my family :
I am absolutely shocked….. 1. About Your love even in the little tiny things of my life (the ring). 2.
I recall the old days; …… 1. My mother read us all a story every night and we all prayed before bed time. 2. My Grandfather Ted read from the bible and we all prayed every night before bed. 3.
I reflect on your accomplishments……
I spread out my hands to you in prayer; ….. 1. Every week I bring each one of my family members (19 in all) to You and ask for Your forgiveness, blessing, and hand of direction on each one. 2.
May I hear about your loyal love in the morning, for I trust in you….. 1. My 3am auto wake up time is now my prayer and write time, as it was also my Grandfather Roy’s prayer and write time. 2.
Show me the way I should go, because I long for you…… 1. You led me into RM (Relational Maturity) 2.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord! I run to you for protection….. 1. Large angels on the jeep. 2.
Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God…... 1. Honor and respect marriage. 2. Walking with Me in the pain we both feel. 3.
May your kind presence lead me into a level land…..
For the sake of your reputation, revive me!….. 1, Is it too late? Have I missed it? 2.
Because of your justice, rescue me from trouble!…..
As a demonstration of your loyal love, destroy my enemies…..
Annihilate all who threaten my life, for I am your servant…… 1. Do not remove ****** from your life, I will do the removing when it’s time. 2.
