Leave a Legacy

What Legacy Should We Leave We all are born for a purpose to make a difference in this world Shaped in every color and creed we are created to teach learn and lead It does matter what we say and do Because if we know it or not that every word has power to choose Will your life be a light  That will shine through Every storm that you go through? Will your life be the one who will allow God to use? Your life is a open book  for all the world to see who do you want to reflect that can change and affect? You may know it or not But there are people who are watching your life to see what you do Their footsteps are following the path you choose When the time comes that when you have to say good-bye Will you truly be ready to leave Or will you hide what’s deep inside Did you know that there are treasures That God put inside Many hidden talents and gift he gave For us to never hide Will you do everything you can to show your love that God gave to you? Love, mercy and grace is what this world needs So, let’s try to reach out to the hungry and poor With a heart of love and compassion and more We are God's hands who He uses to feed When it is all said and done What will they say? About the life you that you lead Did it bring glory to God Or did it point to you instead? I don't know about you But, I want to leave a legacy That's honest and true Who will lead many to Jesus Who makes all things new Copyright 2014 By Susan R Smith

It amazes me that drivers are so upset about traffic cameras recording their antics when Santa and God have been doing that since time immemorial . . . . Enjoyed! Aloha!
