Every life story leaves a legacy; the only question is, which kind? Much of who I am today flows from a mom and dad who loved God and loved their children. They were not perfect, but they daily, intentionally, strove to leave a legacy. Robin’s parents did the same. The four of them continued to do so as they spoke into the lives of their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. We have several generations that preceded us of those who intentionally strove to leave a legacy; a good legacy, a powerful legacy.
Some of you reading these words may be saying, “That’s fine for you, but I don’t have generations of good parenting behind me.” To that I would simply say, “It has to start somewhere; it has to start with someone.” And remember, a good legacy is not created in years, it’s built one moment at a time, one decision after another. We must choose today. We have to be intentional. We must choose to build a legacy, one day at a time.
