Our youngest son is getting married…in 11 days. He is 27 years old and he has known since the 4th date this was the girl for him. They have gone to marriage counseling. She was raised in church by great parents. On paper, they should have the perfect foundation. But this morning, during my quiet time, momma panic set in.

“You may be the only Bible someone reads.” “Actions speak louder than words.” Sometimes we hear these things and take them a little too literally. At least, I know I do. For years, I knew I was saved, and I tried to live as best as I could, so I thought my example was enough to show the world that they all need Jesus. Then several years ago, someone said, “If you never explain that you are only able to live that way because of Jesus and what He did for you, then the world just thinks you’re a goody two shoes and can’t see Jesus in you.” That was like having ice water thrown in my face. It woke me up; however, I still forget sometimes. So, what does that mean we should do?

Where did this past year go?  I cannot believe this is my last blog post about A Lasting Legacy.  When I set this theme last year at the National WMA meeting in Branson, my thoughts were consumed with ways to improve my legacy for those, particularly my four grandchildren, who are coming behind me.
