Welcome back!

You will leave a legacy whether you want to or not. You have control over whether it is positive or negative. How do you want to be remembered? Do you want to be known as someone who wasted their life and held other people back? Or do you want to be known as someone who took really good care of their family and community? How do you want the world to be significantly different because you lived? Do you want only a string of broken dreams and selfish accomplishments left in your wake, or do you want to have living memorials walking around who credit you with helping them turn their life around? It is entirely up to you.

Life is a precious God-given gift. It can be over in an instant. We need to be wise stewards of the time that we are granted. Make each day count. Make contributions that will long outlive your personal presence on this planet. Make decisions that in the final analysis, left your very best on the field of life. The rest of us are counting on you!

Until next time, I’ll be praying for you to give serious thought to the legacy that you are already leaving, and the adjustments you might need to make before your time is through.
