Your Legacy: What Will You Leave Behind?

I became widowed at 49. I sold our home to downsize. I gave to our kids and family what they wanted. Donated a ton of things and threw things away. I was finished with worldly things. He’s been gone 17 years now and I still live with basic household items. I have notes in my Bible and keep notebooks of Bible studies. I pray the Lord speaks to my family from those notes.

Important truth to keep in mind as we grow older. I certainly want to accumulate less……It’s who we are and were to our loved ones…that stands the test of time.

SING PLUS! Daily Devo! Share Word Global! My Jesus I Love Thee PHILIPPIANS 2:8-11, ACTS 4:12 Let the word of Christ JESUS dwell richly within us. Colossians 3:16

Except when you’re dead, you really don’t give a shit. Leave money and memories and stop being material.

Slightly ironic timing, since my living room looks like the Goodwill Bins exploded all over. 😳😞

Not as much as I wished I could have. I wasn’t able to have children due to health reasons (couldn’t adopt either for the same), so we put what we had into my brothers kids & their grandkids, like an extra set of grandparents, lol! We are so blessed in our family to know all of us are in our Savior’s hand. Our church is midsized & very active & love having missionaries come to speak when on furlough, & we do an awesome 5th Sunday County singing (our pianist is a very well-respected steel guitarist from the HeeHaw show days), so we are blessed up, down & out the door—we try to share it as much as we can (we Southern Baptists really like our after-church socials with LOTS of fried chicken—we have dinner at the drop of a hat & we drop our own hats, lol!). When it’s fishing season, it’s a big fish fry w/hushpuppies. We’ve started putting together some “What Does God Want from Me?” books for those who might find themselves left behind after the rapture & looking for answers, telling them what has happened, what will be happening, how to find Jesus, & what it’s going to mean to serve Him during that time. Both in hard copies & on thumb drives, along with a Bible or Bible App depending on the media. I honestly think in 10 yrs ( give or take a few) from now we’ll probably be just getting started in the Millennial Kingdom living on a restored earth, serving with King Jesus reigning from David’s throne in Jerusalem, in the fully restored nation of Israel who will finally have inherited the land promises God gave Abraham, Isaac & Jacob as an everlasting possession. The nations will come yearly to the Feast of Booths (Tabernacles) or have no rain fall on their lands if they don’t. Scripture also says, “Thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”—Zechariah 8:23 NKJV It’s going to be a very Jew-centric rule, it will be a world where righteousness dwells, where the curse has been lifted from the land, where all the animals are tame, where Satan & his host have been locked in the abyss for the 1,000 yrs & when one dies at the age of 100 bc he did not accept Jesus’s rule he’ll be considered a child. I hope whatever legacy I have, it will lead people to Heaven while the Tribulation rages, then the Millennial Kingdom at His 2nd Coming & finally into the Eternal Kingdom!

Yes, sir. The largest pile is going to be the keep. They are already doing it! Raise them up in His name!!

Nothing. As He intended for me.
