Ancestors

Here is just a simple photo of some grass and trees. It is not very impressive.

To me this photo evokes memories. A little timber cottage, kerosene lamps, hession walls, smells, and old things. The resident in my memory who lived here was Great Auntie Annie Cecelia (Dolly) Rowe. It was also the place where my father was raised by his Grandparents Ambrose Barrett Rowe & Annie Susannah (Cloke). Ambrose died in 1937, and Annie died in 1948.

1 Samuel 2:30 (NIV)

"Therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, declares: 'I promised that your house and your father's house would minister before me forever.' But now the LORD declares: 'Far be it from me! Those who honor me I will honor, but those who despise me will be disdained.
