My mother, now deceased, is precious to me and very dear to my heart. Her maiden name was Greenhalgh.
While reading the personal history of one of my relatives, I remembered what was written in Latin on the Greenhalgh Family Coat of arms.
“I owe all things to God.”
Thankfully, that is something my mother taught me to see and recognize and appreciate throughout my life.
I have learned through my own experience that I do–owe all things to God, that is. His grace, mercy and guidance have sustained me. It’s because of Him that I can even draw my breath each day. It’s because of Him I have eyes to see, ears to hear, and so much more. The inscription on that coat of arms fills me with joy because I sense the truth of the statment. It helps me know I am anchored to ancestors that appreciated the goodness of God, and it inspires me to want to know more about their personal stories of trials an triumph.
Do you have an inscription on a Family Coat of Arms or a statement of purpose for your family now?
