My Devotional Journal: Today's Our Daily Bread author, Cindy Hess Kasper, AT THIS LINK writes about a pilot who received a dictionary for Christmas from his parents. And even tho the boy wanted a bicycle for Christmas, he later realized that his parents had left him a legacy of Godliness from living out the truths from another book … The Bible. (see photo)
And I stop and pray today that all who read here with me are doing all we can, by the way we choose to live our lives, to leave a legacy of Christlikeness for those who come after us, … not only our families, as God’s word above indicates, … but also for those within our sphere of influence every day. That’s what the two linked songs express; and I pray we’ll go out today to show forth a legacy of Christlikeness.
My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh Abba Father, ... thank You, Lord, … for leaving a legacy of love and grace for us to follow and lead others to You.
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... I pray that all reading here will join me, …to show off Your legacy of love to others today … and tomorrow. … Amen
