The Bible says in Proverbs 13:22, A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's children. What will your inheritance be? Will it only be monetary? Well although I can only pray that when we depart from this life that we leave our love ones financially stable, but I truly believe that leaving an inheritance is so much more than that. I think your witness, your walk, character, and your integrity are all part of the inheritance you leave behind. When people watch you (which so often they do), what do you show them? A life of joy, peace, compassion, love, and kindness, or a life of hopelessness, discontentment, and despair. As Christians, our walk should always resemble one of joy and peace. Now, don't get me wrong, trouble will come to try to shake your peace (and if it has'nt happened yet...keep living), But peace is not an absence of adversity, and joy is not an absence of heartache. We as Christian carry peace and joy in our pockets at all time, because we have the revelation knowledge to know that no matter what obstacles may come our way, GOD is in control. These are the type of values that we must pass on to our children. The simplicity of just letting them know "who they are" and "who's they are" will carry them further than you can ever imagine. Then in their times of trouble they will be able to reach back from their upbringing and grab the gift of scriptures like No Weapon, or Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors, or "weeping may endure, or they that wait on the LORD, and it will make sense to them, because they have watched an example live those things (You)...The best gift of an inheritance that you can ever give your children is to walk upright and be an awesome example for the Kingdom... So again I ask you, what will your "Legacy" be?

I agree! This is the best thing to leave your kids. Money devalues. Land appreciates, but what's the point of giving your kids land when they don't have enough Kingdom Peace to enjoy it (they will not be fulfilled). Great job Boo! This made me think, and welcome to Blogspot!

Turner this is your boy Kuntry. The big Black singing "Finalist" dude from Fashion Rock 2004. I just want to thank you so much. Your piece about dusting off your dreams and tuning up that gift from God is precisely what I needed to read at this time. Thank you so much. The next time I see you, God spearing, I am going to give you a big hug.
