Spiritual Legacy Found

One of the best ways to leave your Spiritual Legacy is through a "Faithbook"-a Scrapbook about your Faith.
When you leave a layout with a photo of your child and a scripture beside it as he/she grows that child will be drawn to it and will love reading it. You've prayed many prayers for your child/grandchild. How about writing one for your child for a time after you are gone?

What about that special story that happened to your family where the only explanation is that it was a God Moment? Put it in writing so that your child/grandchild will know of God's miraculous works. Perhaps God is calling you to think about how He has been faithful in your life. Maybe He wants you to create a Faithbook so that you can leave your Spiritual Legacy for those you love and for those who will follow you. I'd like to encourage you to sincerely pray about this.

If you don't pass on the stories/messages about God's presence in your life, chances are they will be buried with you. Don't die with those messages inside of you. Start today.  A professor once said to me, you don't know what death is until you lose a parent. I believe that many people would say you don't know what death is until you lose a loved one-whether it is a companion, child or parent. When one of our loved ones passes from this life here on Planet Earth, we are again reminded that time passes quickly and no one is promised another day.

When your baby is born, you watch so closely as that tiny infant eats, sleeps, yawns, coos, smiles, poops, stretches and grows. Those sleepless nights sometimes seem like "forever" nights but then before you know it your little baby. Living with daily pain and/or chronic illness can beat you up with the realization that your days are limited.
