Origanlly written July 27, 2010:
I was just sitting here watching my grandkids play and my thoughts went to the days when my kids were playing together. My how things have changed as far as with what they play with, but the interaction has not.
I am reminded of the word legacy...I remember when I was growing up and how insignificant I felt. I was terribly insecure. I tried to befriend everyone, yet never felt as though I fit in anywhere. I had lofty dreams, which I have done very few of them. I felt like a wallflower and as though people could look right through and beyond me.
Who would have thought that I could live the life I have and find myself in the lives of those I gave birth to and their now kids. I may not have done all that I wanted or dreamed of or achieved the loftiness I thought that I wanted; but what I do know is this...
My kids are wonderful adults who have done more than I ever thought to do. They are an asset to this world. They are all wonderful parents who love their kids and want the best for them. And their children's young lives are just beginning their journey...they are wide open for the great adventure of life. The sky is the limit...
So, back to Legacy...I am forever significant through the lives of generations to come. My greatest gift to them is living what I believe and rooting them in the faith. To let them know that no matter how small they may feel in this great big world that they are important. What they bring to the table has value and will change the world forever.
I am blessed to have seen two generations after me so far, and am hopeful that I will see more! We are a family that loves, lives and inspires! What more can I ask for?
