You can have your father's...

You can have your father's eyes. You can move just like your mom. You might have your uncle's laugh, and your grandmother's sense of humor, and a sharpness of mind that both sides of the family claim as their own. And yet, your eyes will see things your dad never saw. You will go places that your mother never visited. You will make your own jokes and think your own thoughts. Your eyes and your walk and your laugh are all yours, but they are not just yours. The same thing is true of faith. Our faith is our own, but it does not belong to us as individuals. Faith is always shared.
