If you died today how many lives have you touched? Are you going to heaven and if so are you bringing anyone with you?
My husband's pap died recently and it hurt saying goodbye more than I thought it would. Seeing the people that came to his viewing was just humbling. This man touched
so many lives. Hearing the special memories at the funeral and being reminded of the man he was. He left a legacy on this earth.....He left his beaming smile, his laugh,
and so much more. As I sat there at the viewing seeing the line out the door I sat there and wandered to myself have I in anyway touched any lives? What will my legacy be?
Friends, are you reaching out to people? Are you giving to the helpless? Are you uplifting the hopeless? Jesus' ministry was based around giving to the
poor and helping those that nobody else wanted to help. Do you know Jesus? This Christmas you will receive gifts under the tree but have you received the most important
gift of all? You see God sacrificed His son so we would have a way to Him. If we ask God into our hearts, into our lives the Holy Spirit comes and lives inside of us what better more
precious gift is there? We have God living inside of us helping us through the messes of life. No, it's not an "easy button" but it sure helps when you feel alone, when you lost
all strength, when you feel helpless. God loves you so so much! We must receive all of Him, we must do His will and help anyone we can. We must leave a legacy just like the song
by Nicole Nordeman says:
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
It's time to step it up. To be that light in the world of darkness. To do all I can for the glory of God.
To leave a beautiful legacy that points to God.
I love you all & pray you have a blessed Thanksgiving surrounded by family and friends!
