I attended my Great Aunt's funeral a few weeks ago, and she was indeed a great, Aunt! She was so loving and kind and always had a smile on her face. You couldn't help but feel love and comfort when you were around her. At her funeral her kindness and love was still present in those she has left behind. Everyone there described her with the same words of kind, loving, tender, sweet, joyful, and most importantly, God Fearing. Wow! What a legacy! It really made me sit and think...would others say such nice things about me? Am I portraying the love of Jesus to others? Am I fearing God in the proper manner? I am reminded of the song Legacy by Nicole Nordeman.
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
Blessed Your Name apologetically
And leave that kind of legacy.
Thank you, Aunt Ruby, for leaving such a wonderful legacy that challenges us to follow in your steps!
