The other day I passed a home where an elderly lady lived and saw many cars and people in and around her house. There were boxes and things on trucks. It was a clear sign that they (maybe family) were moving her out. A few days later there was a dumpster in front of the home, and my thoughts immediately went to sadness. Seeing the dumpster, I begin to think...one day my life may be summed up with things placed in the trash.
"Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto thy children." Psalm 90:16
What are we leaving as a legacy for our children and grandchildren? Is it one that glorifies God?
Will it all be thrown away in a dumpster or will it be a legacy of love that they will value forever? Are we spending more time investing in the things of life instead of investing in the people in our lives? Is it time to get rid of the clutter and sort through what's important and what's not?
I pray the times I have with my family are valuable, and the legacy I leave will be one that will never end up in a dumpster.
Love in Christ,
Tera
