What is going to be your legacy? What are you going to leave behind that is worth something? Many people plan for an estate to be given to their children or whoever. It could be land or whatever you think is worth something. What about your prayers or your wishes for your children? Could it be as simple as your values you try to pass on to your children? Every parents wants the best for their children. They work all their lives to provide food, clothing and shelter, but an opportunity to do better than they did. My parents not only paid for college, they also said if I graduated they would give me a car. I didn’t finish. Girls and Vietnam got in the way. I tried to go back, but it never really worked. So I went to work after my time in the US Air Force. When I did marry I wanted more for my children. 2 of my sons graduated from college and the other 2 are working. I have dedicated my life to God. I pursued Him with a whole heart. I taught my children God’s teachings and how to live a good life. I never gave up on my values. God says to train up a child in the way he should go and when he is older he will not depart from it. I’m counting on it. My sons have chosen to live their own lives. I keep praying for them. And I’m believing God that His word will work in their lives as it did in mine. I believe a legacy can be your prayers and wishes for your children as well as other people. I know that the prayers of my ancestors are still working in me.
