I've been thinking a lot lately about legacies. My husbands father passed into eternity last week and he left a wonderful legacy.
At his funeral there were 4 generations of family members that were touched by his life. As a husband, father, father-in-law, uncle, grandfather and great grandfather he lived what he believed and he will be missed by us all.
I look at my husband, and I am filled with thankfulness to this man that fathered him, and set a godly example for him to follow. I, my children, and my grandchildren are reaping the benefits of this father's job done well.
Each of us will leave a legacy, our mark on the world, whether we try to or not. It will affect generations. This is a sobering thought and raises the question, "How shall we then live?"
Ephesians 4:1 encourages us to live a life worthy of the calling with which we have been called.
This is what my father in law did. I pray that I will do the same.
