When
we think about the legacy we will leave behind, we are confronted face-to-face
with the end of our own life and death. And because that can be a
difficult, we put off really considering how the way we are living our life now
will directly impact the legacy that we leave when we die.
Don’t
ignore the obvious. We are sitting here in the loss and pain and sadness,
can we not use these feelings for good, to make conscious decisions right now
that will affect our legacy in the future? Think…how you would like to be remembered. What impact on this
world would you like your loved ones to talk about for years to come AFTER you
die?
It’s
NOT morbid. It’s the reality and truth we live in AND – good news – we still
have the ability to influence the outcome. Our loved one is gone.
We are not. While our living without them can seem burdensome, grab
something that can be inspiring, grab onto something that can really change the
world you live in. That something is YOU and how you choose to live your
life going forward. Open your eyes and see, pray and then get
moving. There is something that still needs to be done that you were made
by God to do.
Who
wants to hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant…oh, I wish you had
________________.” It’s a choice, you decide.
