What to leave behind

 Allistair Beggs said, "If you are in Christ, the promise of Abraham is yours."

 So what is the promise of Abraham?

"I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3
Friend, I've been thinking a lot about what to leave behind. First, I want to leave a trail of Jesus's grace. I want others to see a life that didn't have a "worldly" standard of success, but was set apart from Day 1. 

Next, I want to leave a love of reading. As I read everything I asked my students to read I pray they absorb a love of words. I want words to speak to the heart of those I've loved. 

God told Abraham he would be a blessing. May that be so in my life!
