We are halfway through the year, and
we have spent every Friday for these past six months writing our story, one
week at a time. My list of prompts is dwindling, so I think I’ll start using Fridays
for another purpose starting in July.
Since
this is the last day for a Flashback Friday, I’ll ask this question to guide
you today:
What
legacy do you hope to leave with the life you live?
We could probably spend six months on that question alone, couldn’t we?
I
don’t know that I could answer in just one word, but I do know I hope my legacy
is one of intentionality and one that has pointed those around me to Christ.
Goodness, I’ve not done this perfectly. My flaws are many, and that isn’t lost
on me.
Even
so, I hope I live in such a way that my intentionality to love and care for
those around me is seen even when my imperfections get in the way. I hope that
every person who steps foot in our home feels at home. I hope that every person
who reads any words I write sees my heart and finds something that either
encourages or challenges. I hope that those who ask me to pray for them know
that I do and they find the ways God is at work in their lives.
I
hope to live with conviction and passion that leaves those around me certain that
I love the Lord. I hope that the way I share about God with others propels them
to want to know Him too.
I
hope to leave a legacy of fiercely loving my husband and everything about
marriage. I hope he always knows how deeply I love him and that those who stand
in witness to the life we live together have great hope that marriage can be
fun and encouraging.
My
desires for my legacy have little to do with career or accomplishments or
success. Any of those things would be nice, but they aren’t the things that
drive me. And when all is said and done, they’re not the things I hope others
would remember the most.
That’s
what I hope for my legacy.
What
do you hope for yours?
