What will be my legacy?

So I am going to try and FINALLY start my blog. It's therapeutic right?? Well, until you are "required" to keep up with it!

So anyway, I went to the "20-Somethings" ministry called Revolution, visit www.revolution813.com ( shameless plug ). The message this evening was, "What will be the legacy you leave behind?" The average life span is 80 years. Keeping this in mind, I have already lived about 1/3 of my life span. I had to ask myself, what have I done with the past 27 years? Have I made an impact on someone's life? Have I lived and made a difference? If we were to look at the book called our life, what do we want to be known for?

He proceeded to tell a story about patience and love. He spoke of a situation that we all can say we've been through. "You are in the express line at the grocery store and Beatrice, a 74 year old cashier is checking everyone out in the line. You see a person that has 13 items when he should have only 10, and it is taking Beatrice a while to check everyone out. The guy behind you is impatient and complaining about how slow the cashier is." Where do we see ourselves in that situation? Yes I have been that guy who joins in the old-people bashing, complaining right along. I know we all have been there.

Lets make a conscience change. Lets live for the love of people. Lets live in the love of God. Lets buy the homeless guy begging on the side of the road lunch. Lets help an elder person with their groceries. Lets re-give the blessings given to us. I was told about a couple of days ago that, " We must use our time, resources and talents to make a difference."

I ask myself again, what do i want to be known for? What will be my legacy?
