TO OUR GRANDCHILDREN

YOU ARE A WORLD-CHANGER

The leaders who’ve had the greatest impact on this world are those who live their lives in such a way that they are committed to doing whatever it takes to make people and society around them better. So what that means, as a Gienger, is that you are a world-changer. That’s what you’re here for. You’re here to make this world a better place.

I really care about the legacy I leave behind. I care more about the soundness of the principles by which you live your lives than the size of your portfolio. My vision for my legacy is that you will be known as people who genuinely love others, serve others and lead others to make this world a better place.

I really want you to embrace your leadership role in life, your leadership role in your family, your leadership role in business as your powerful platform to rebuild the world with God’s ideal values for society. That’s what you can do with everything you do in life. You can actually bring God’s kingdom to this earth in whatever you do in life.

—Lonnie Gienger

A SPECIAL BLESSING

As the children were growing up, we would have a special blessing we said over them every night. And if we did not remember to do that, they would come find us and we would say it to them. And so, I will say to you:

May the Lord bless you,
And keep you,
May He make His face shine upon you,
May He turn His face toward you,
And give you peace.

And may that blessing follow you all the days of your life.

—Shelley Gienger
