Recently, I read a book that dealt with someone's legacy. It made me start thinking about my own legacy. When I no longer live on earth, what will people remember about me? This has really captured my attention and caused me to think about my life and how I live it.
Everything we do impacts people. Whether it be our attitude over a certain activity we are involved in all the way to how we treat the cashier at the grocery store. As I have thought about this, I have come to realize that my attitude and behaviors greatly affect my family. If I am grumpy, my entire house tends to be grumps. However, if I am laughing, everyone generally joins in.
My questions to myself are:
1. What am I teaching my children about those around us in need?
2. What am I teaching my children about friendships?
3. Am I showing my sons how a godly wife behaves?
4. Am I training my daughter in the ways of godly womanhood?
5. Do I prefer my own comfort over the comforts of others?
6. Do material items rule my heart?
8. Can people see God in me?
9. Do I offer grace to those around me?
10. Do I let the Holy Spirit guide my heart or do I let the world?
I want to be remembered as a loving, godly woman. I want my great grandchildren to hear stories of me and know I loved well.
What will your legacy be?
