Today's Prompt:
Have you reached the prime of your life?
What do you want to be your legacy?
In writing this, I was reminded of the beautiful eulogy given at my uncle's funeral last year. He was described as a "living demonstration of the character of God". I strive to leave the type of legacy he did and more.
I truly hope I haven't reached the prime of my life. I'm looking forward to some wonderful things happening in the years to come (and the many years after, for the record).
However, when I think of the legacy that I want to leave the first thoughts to come to mind are my children. What memories do I want to leave them? What stories will they share with their children? What traditions will they continue?
I think since having my daughter, I've focused more on the path that I am on. She is a constant reminder that there will be a young lady growing up in my household that will be modeling herself after me - the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm far from perfect and that's something I share with my babies on a regular basis. I try to let them know when I've made a mistake or jumped to conclusions. I apologize when necessary. I say I love you as much as possible. Hugs and kisses are plentiful.
The legacy that I want to leave is being a strong, virtuous woman. A true Proverbs 31 woman. I want to love, live and laugh. I want to live without regret.
