want to leave a legacy.

by | 2 Comments

Have you ever thought about the legacy you are leaving?

So many of think we’ll leave a legacy when we become famous or do something notable. But our legacies aren’t something that “will” happen, they are happening. You are leaving a legacy – a fingerprint of yourself – here on this earth every moment of everyday.

When I think of my legacy in that fashion – it’s breathtaking!

It’s also scary.

Every action and word that comes from me leaves a print here on this earth. I leave prints behind on my husband, children, family, friends, and even passersby.

It’s time you and I realize that we aren’t leaving a legacy — we are living a legacy! <—tweet that here.

    I always knew I wanted to leave something..I just couldn’t put a word on it until I heard Nicole Nordeman’s song, “Legacy.” It spoke to my heart and brings tears to my eyes…each word had meaning to me. So, I thought that my Leagacy would be my children. I’ve worked tirelessly to do my best, instill moral integrity in them, and just be what I needed to be for them. And all along, knowing in my heart, that when I pass, whatever I did, the Lord would “bestow mercy down to the thousandth generation, on the children of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:6)

    What a grand thought… to LIVE your legacy. It never dawned on me that everything and everyone I come in contact with is imprinted by me. Thanks, Alene for this gem. It makes me more accountable for my actions, my words, and my expressions on a minute by minute basis. I wouldn’t want the imprint I leave with someone to be a frown!
