Lets leave a legacy!

A dear friend of my mom, and a Sister in Christ, passed away early this morning after battling cancer for over a year. She was a very joyful lady. There were many times when people (including me) went to visit and encourage her, ended up receiving the greater blessing. Soon after she was diagnosed with cancer she shared with a group of ladies a song she labeled as hers. The chorus of the song went, “I am making plans to see Jesus, because He is making plans to see me”. She was content with passing, in fact she looked forward to it. All through her suffering she expressed peace. Although she wasn’t able to serve others like she was ALWAYS doing before, she said in a prayer just last week, “God, put the pot on, and give me a double portion”. I had to step back and look at the beautiful lady she was in Christ and the great legacy she has left behind. It convicted my heart, to look at the “legacy” I might be leaving behind. So the prayer in my heart is that I would be able to leave behind a Godly legacy for others. That when I am gone others would remember me as a man filled with Christ. Lets leave a legacy!
