Leaving A Legacy



Most parents can't give their child a lavish inheritance, but every parent will leave a personal legacy.


I know that this is going to be the case for my kids. I will never be able to leave them a great inheritance. I mean, i might have to leave them a big debt; even though Stacey and me will try not to do that.

But, we are like a lot of people, we will not leave an inheritance but we will leave a legacy, whether that will be a good one or a bad on.

I love how Reggie puts it, he put the words down in this manner:

Sometimes, I just have to be reminded that what I give to my children or what I do for my children is not as important as what I leave in them.


I hope and pray that I foremost leave in them the notion that we need to love god and we need to love others. There are also other virtues that I want to instill in them or "leave in them" and they are the following:

Wisdom
Discipline
Patience
Service
Responsibility

Those are a few.

In conclusion, what I give to my children or what I do for my children is not as important as what I leave in them
