New legacy

I haven't written here in quite some time. I feel compelled to today.

The other day I had what I will call a flashback. In this flashback I saw my mother at the sink as if she were washing dishes she was singing a song I remember her singing often when I was a child. The words to this song were: I know The Lord will make a way somehow, when beneath the cross I bow. He will take away each sorrow. Let him have your burdens now. When the load of life is heavy and the weight shows on my brow. He will take away each sorrow, The Lord will make a way some how.

As I began to sing the song myself I realized that I too sing that song often and I am sure it is within the earshot of my children. That's when it hit me. That's how legacy happens. At least spiritual legacy. It is wonderful to tell our children they can trust God. But when they don't see evidence of us working on trusting Him they don't have anything concrete that says to them they can trust Him. My mother passed that legacy of faith and trust in The Lord, I am doing the same. Which means my children will too. Now, don't get me wrong I don't think it's just in the singing of a song. I sing the song to remind myself not to fret or fear when things don't seem to be going well. In this song are the components if the covenant I have with the creator of the universe. When beneath the cross I bow He will take care of all that plagues my life. I know The Lord will make a way somehow. It doesn't always seem apparent to me what His plan is, the only thing I need to know is that He will work it out as long as I stay submitted and committed to the cross.  What a wonderful assurance is mine!  I love me some Jesus!!!!!

Be blessed!!!
