I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice... (Timothy 1:5)

What kind of inheritance are you leaving your children?

Lois was the grandmother of Timothy, the apostle Paul’s young protégé, and Eunice was his mother. They were both early converts to Christianity. Timothy’s father was a Greek and apparently not a Christian (Acts 16:1). When the apostle Paul passed through their town of Lystra, he invited Timothy to travel with him. Paul tells us in his last letter, written just before his death, that Timothy’s faith was a direct result of the faith of his mother and grandmother.
