I'm on a prayer retreat and God keeps speaking to me about what's most important to His Heart...LOVE!
As I sit and ponder the amazing legacy my mom has left on earth and in heaven one word rings out clear and loud--LOVE! Mom was not a loud person, but she loved clearly and consistently day in and day out! As I think about her life...year after year and decade after decade--she loved! Some were close to her like family and others were new friends she made wherever she went. Since we know every word of God is true and has been tested to be so--we can rejoice in the enduring legacy of love:
LOVE NEVER FAILS! 1 Cor. 13:8
When we love we always win...and the influence of the love shared has eternal impact! What a great honor to look back on mom's almost 74 years on earth and summarize her life with one simple word--LOVE! Mom expressed her love through sharing, serving, talking, caring and most of all by giving Jesus and His word to all who would listen.
This simple woman with no college degree has left a tidal wave of impact through daily loving those God brought to her.
Wow...what a refreshing way to leave a legacy!
