A Legacy-Part 1
December 22, 2007 I went to a funeral for an amazing woman. Katie was her name. She blessed the life of many people, but I want to talk about how she especially blessed mine. She taught me what true unconditional love was. She love her kids so much and I can only hope to be a half the mom that she was. She helped put back the broken pieces of my life. I know people say that they stayed up praying for someone, or something, but she truly did. I remember being in youth and watching her and the other leaders, in the back of the room, pray over us at camp. I can also remember her truly crying with me, after I made a huge mistake and her then reminding me of God's grace. She also taught me not to be ashamed of my past because God still can use me. When I was a senior and didn't have a prom date she offered for her husband to take me to prom. At her funeral the song Legacy, by: Nicole Nordeman, was played. Since then the words to that song have stuck with me, " I want to live a legacy, how will they remember me..."! But the truth is, what will your legacy be? how will they remember you?
