Leaving a legacy doesn’t just mean leaving a gift of money or personal property, it can mean so much more. Ultimately, our legacy is the story of how we live life and the Godly example we set for our children and future generations. Our life story will be told no matter the outcome. This thought provides extreme clarity in not only how we must live our life now, but how it should be someday told.
