My Legacy

The last couple of days I have been thinking alot about leaving a legacy. Tuesday is my sweet Papa's 84th Birthday. One day (hopefully not too soon) my Papa will leave a legacy and what a legacy it will be. What an incredible man. He loves his family with all of his heart and he loves his heavenly Father even more. Papa has worked hard his entire life. He has provided more for his family than most people will ever be able to have in their entire lives because of all his hard work. Even though having material things is nice, that is not what I will remember most. He has loved us unconditionally our entire lives. Every time our family is together for meals Papa always prays the most incredible prayers. They will never be forgotten. His love for our Father is indescribable. Not only does he NEVER miss his quiet time, but it is the FIRST thing he does every day. Jesus' light shines through him every single day in everything he does. Papa is truly a man of God. I have always looked up to him in everything he does. Such a wonderful man. Happy 84th Birthday Papa, thank you for being you!!!



I want to leave a legacy people will remember. I pray that God shines through me in the way I treat my husband, children, parents, brother and friends. Not only those I'm close to but I pray the people I come in contact with on a daily basis at the store, while driving, at restaurants and whoever else I run into. I want to love without looking back or being afraid of being hurt. I want to treat people the way people treat a baby. Having Hudson has really opened my eyes in more ways than one. People look at him and smile instantly. Is it innocence of a baby that makes people of all ages willing to open up and talk to them? Why don't we treat everyone the way we treat babies? Why is it so hard for us to smile at people and be friendly to everyone? How many more people might see the love of Christ if we actually acted the way He did and treat people the way we treat little children? I hope God gives me the grace and willingness to treat people how he treats them. To love them the way I love all babies. To smile and be friendly even when I'm not having a good day or am in a hurry. I pray to raise my children in a way to help in leading them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. I want to love my husband with an undying love and show him everyday how much he means to me. I pray that each day I wake up and thank God for the day he has given me and live each and every day like it could be my last. But most importantly I want to be a child of mercy and grace who blessed His name unapologetically. I pray one day people will remember my legacy. What will your legacy be?
