Overnight it snowed about three inches. So it was beautiful for my morning walk. I circled the same path four times. On the third or fourth path I noticed the tracks in the snow that I was making.
The tracks got me thinking about the tracks, or legacies, that our lives leave for others. Are the legacies that I leave behind worthy of being followed? My desire is to leave legacies that my children and grandchildren will want to follow and should follow.
That will require that I live a life of generosity, service, and righteousness. The only way that I can do that is to be filled with the love and power of God. Ephesians 5:1-2 says, “Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”
What legacy will you leave behind? Please choose to follow Jesus and leave a legacy of love. It is not too late.
