We’ve all received a legacy in one form or another—mannerisms, stories, traditions, faith, genetic make-up and tendencies—we’ve received a legacy and we’re building one as well.
You've probably gathered this week that I enjoy family history. I like to wonder if my finger shape came from my father’s side or my mother’s. I sigh with pleasure to hear my sister speak to her boys with words our grandmother said to us a millenium ago. And I still dream of my daddy telling stories of his childhood, picturing him getting into trouble almost as if I’m with him as he does.
History, His Story, isn’t just what happened way back when. We make history every day as we play our part in His Story. It’s all about Him and it all comes back to Him. Maybe someday I’ll have a great, great, great granddaughter who tries to imagine me. It could happen! Maybe. My prayer is that she never loses sight of the Creator of time and family and love—all those things God has blessed us with in His Story. That’s the legacy I want to leave--a mind filled with wonder and a heart flooded with gratefulness.
Thanks, Cindy, for letting me play. And thanks to all your readers. May you have a wonderful history-making day.
Abundant blessings,
Jenny

Jenny's been wonderful this week, hasn't she? And I haven't even had a chance to read all her posts yet. I can see from the number of comments that you all enjoyed her.
Thank you, Jenny, for filling in for me while I was traveling. The blog was in good hands!
