Legacy Planning
In the above link are some tools and resources for legacy planning. Many people think that only the wealthy can plan their legacy. This is not true. Some things of course cost money to plan out, yet all of us can plan how we would like to be remembered by our loved ones and acquaintances. What we leave behind will reflect on what we are interested in, what we care about and whether or not we are remembered for our good deeds or our evil deeds.
Time well spent is time that is devoted to the interest of others in your community and your world. You get to decide whether or not you will preserve a piece of history or let it decay into dust. You can make a difference in someone else's life in a variety of ways. Some of the obvious are volunteering for an event, cleaning up a park, planting a garden that will feed the hungry and helping those around you in need. Sometimes a small gesture can make a huge difference in someone's life.
I have been thinking a lot about the legacy I will leave behind. What story will others pick up about me? Will they see someone who loves the Lord or someone who is just playacting? I hope the former is true. I want my legacy to be that of a person who resonates the love of God and brings people to him. I want to be a person who is willing to stand up against the oppressors and show that God is in control.
