I just completed a class called ENRICH which was a cohort of about 6 leader, mover/shaker God fearing ladies. It was pivotal for my growth.
The last evening was about leaving a “legacy.” Do we think about this daily as we go about our life interacting with others?
We should ask these questions:
WHO IS IMPACTING YOU?
WHO ARE YOU IMPACTING?
What kind of “legacy” do you want to leave behind? A bunch of money? Accomplishments? Or character traits… Jesus traits
I looked at these questions:
As I look at the legacy I’m leaving I think of first and foremost Tatum. Is she getting from me the things that will last? What am I prioritizing for her growth? Her grades? Her neatness? OR, her walk with Christ? Her imprint that she leaves on others as she interacts with them?
For example, this week, she is volunteering at SBC SPECIAL NEEDS VBS.
The whole week, she’ll be shadowing and looking after 4-year old Sadie with Downs. Tatum’s best friend is Chris (BTW…he’s the one in the hat). She LOVES Special Needs. Her “LEGACY” is being kind and loving to these special friends. That I can be proud of as part of my legacy. Here she is with Carolyn (the leader of SM).
So, I need to be more intentional as I think about the “who’s” in my life…all of them. May I keep this in the forefront.
Psalm 112:1-3
Praise the Lord
Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
who find great delight in his commands.
Their children will be mighty in the land;
the generation of the upright will be blessed.
Wealth and riches are in their houses,
and their righteousness endures forever.
LORD, give me back my health and bring it back stronger than ever! I want to make Hay Happen HAPPEN even stronger and better! We have a great start to carry on our traditions and to make MORE memories. We want to have a KINGDOM impact.
Keeping this SPIRIT of LIGHT alive for future generations.
AMEN.
