CAREFULLY CHOOSE YOUR ANCESTORS

Deuteronomy 4: 9 “Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons.”

Have you ever wished you could have chosen your ancestors? Perhaps you’ve looked in a mirror and noticed personal characteristics that seem to be family directed. Traits such as height, facial shape and even hair loss in older males seem to be a predisposition.

Proclivity toward diseases and related ailments also appear to be family peculiarities. The thickness of one’s blood and heart conditions apparently are inherited. Arthritis, kidney problems, diabetes and even such problems as ingrown toenails seem to be family oriented.
