I am a dedicated employee and I have great work ethic. I am a daughter. I am sister. I am a niece. I am a cousin. I am an aunt. I am an acquaintance to many. I am a friend, but not to many. I am a sponsor mom to a wonderful young boy in Mexico. I am a mother to two amazing young men. I am a Christian and I worship an amazing God. But WHAT is my legacy? What would I be remembered for?
Would I be remembered for the awards I received at work? Would I be remembered for what kind of friend I was? Would I be remembered as someone you could count on? Would I be remembered as my boys biggest cheerleader? Would I be remembered as a woman who loved her family more than life? Would I be remembered as someone who loved to laugh? Would I be remembered as someone who loved being the hands and feet of Jesus? Would I be remembered as someone who lived life to its fullest?
I do not know the answer to this question. I do know that I love my job. I love my parents. I love my sisters, my brother in heaven, my sis in-laws and my brother in-laws. I love my aunts and uncles. I love my cousins. I love my nieces and nephews. I love my friends. I love Jose Pepe in Mexico. I love Preston and Carlton with all of my heart and soul. I love to laugh. I love that I am learning to live my life. I love being the hands and feet of Jesus. I love GOD.
I could only hope that one of these is the legacy I will leave behind. But since hope in itself is not a strategy, I will continue to BE and DO these very things. I will continue to be a hard worker. I will continue to love and be loved with all of my heart. I will continue to laugh, loudly and often. I will continue to be the very best mom that I can be to my precious children. I will continue to be the hands and feet of Jesus. I will continue to love GOD! All of these things, any of these things would make me proud of my legacy.
How will you be remembered? What will you pass down? What will your legacy be? Would you be proud of the things that pop into your mind right away? If so, good for you. If not, lucky for you, you still have time to change how you will be remembered. What you will pass down, what will your legacy be? You are still alive...live how you say you want to live, love like you say you want to love, BE and DO the things you want to be remembered for.
Live out the legacy you would be proud of.
