When I was a child, I can’t ever remember praying “for” someone else, I was only really concerned about what was going on outside that I could do and hopefully not get in trouble for. I never learned the power of God and the importance of prayer until I had my come to Jesus moment when I was thirty-six. I look back over my life from where I am today and see many different seasons. I look at the examples of some of the people that I have walked with and the impact that they made on my life. I also look at those that have walked with me, before I knew Jesus, and have seen the destruction and chaos that I left in the wake. As a Christian, I desire to see the legacy that I am leaving behind before I die and a little while back I saw a part of it, something small and yet so amazing. My grand-daughter, Trinytee, was walking and tripped, and as she was falling her forehead went into the wall causing a bump to start to appear. I was not home when this happened so Thieodore, who was six-years-old at the time, called me on the phone and said, “Trinytee is hurt, you need to come home right now.” I was only a minute away and when I walked through the door Thieodore ushered me to Trinytee. We got some ice on the bump, some Motrin, but the thing that made me proud was that Thieodore, unprompted, stopped everyone, put his hands on Trinytee and prayed, “Heavenly Father, please help Trinytee, in Jesus’ name, Amen.” My heart since becoming a Christian has been that the example that I have laid down continues in the lives of not only my children, but all of my grandchildren, even to their children, not only in their prayer life but in every aspect of their faith. I pray often about what is written in *Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go [teaching him to seek God’s wisdom and will for his abilities and talents], Even when he is old he will not depart from it.* I cannot think of a greater legacy to leave behind than one of a child who has faith, trust in, relies on, and clings to Jesus, and is also confident that when they pray to God to expect answers. Praise God for little children who remind us what true, pure, and honest faith looks like. FYI, Trinytee recovered and the wall was not damaged in the event, lol. Closing thoughts: It is never too late to develop a Christian legacy. It may not be immediate family but our lives will always impact someone one way or another. It is about enduring a life lived in faith, focused on passing down spiritual truths, love, and obedience to God rather than mere material possessions. Your legacy will be defined by reflecting Jesus’ character, fostering discipleship, and investing in eternal, rather than temporal value. Our legacy is more valuable than money, because we are passing on faith, wisdom, and godly character to future generations. A legacy is built by daily, consistent, and intentional living, wisely managing resources, time, and talents for God’s glory. We must focus on helping others in breaking cycles of negativity, abuse, or fear to create a new, positive spiritual heritage. A Christian legacy is ultimately about ensuring the future generations know and follow God more than we are doing in this present time. I am not sure about anyone else but I want to leave a legacy God would be pleased with.
