Creating a Legacy

While at a prayer conference I attended a few weeks back, the author of this book spoke several times. I could have sat and listened to her for hours. Not only was she witty and delightfully entertaining, but she related so many ways to create and leave a legacy for the generations that follow.

Many of the things she suggested we already do as a family, but I am now inspired to undertake new traditions that I hope and pray will be engraved on the lives and hearts of my children and their children and their children and so on....... that is quite a rich inheritance to leave behind and one that I most definitely desire to pass on.
I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Highly recommended!


"...to teach their children, the next generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in God and would not forget His deeds but would keep His commands." Psalm 78:5-7
