During our "Weekend to Remember" one of the last things they talked about was leaving a legacy to our children and future generations. I have been thinking about this over the last few weeks and what all that means. Recently a friend has been working on "Heritage" information and photo's on our church history on Facebook. It has been real interesting and fun to see the old photo's and information he has put on there so far. I have seen several of my family members on there and it has really got me to thinking. My Grandparents, Great Aunts and Uncles have given me and my family a great heritage and legacy in the Lord's work. They have stored up much mercy for us and I'm very thankful for that. I have been looking through my families photos and I'm thinking that I want to start putting together a book or something for my children so that they can look back and see where several generations came from. I just love history, so this is great and of course will take me a while.
Well...that is not quite what I was writing about. Back to where I was originally headed. I want to leave a legacy with my children in the Lord. I want them to know the Lord and have a personal relationship with him.
My husband and I are trying to raise a Godly family, which requires us of course to live by his principles. This is a daily and weekly thing for us, we make adjustments all the time, which I'm sure most families do as well. I just pray that with the Lord's help and guidance that we can leave them with qualities that they can pass on to their families.
What you do today will affect future generations!
