Legacy

Yesterday, the world lost a basketball legend.  Five-time champion, 18-time all-star, two-time Olympic gold medalist, Kobe Bryant (41 years young), along with his 13 year-old daughter and 7 other people died tragically in a helicopter crash.   We mourn and pray for the families left behind.

When an accident like this occurs, we are sent reeling. It is a profound reminder of the fragility of life on this side of heaven.  

While, as believers in Jesus Christ, we can rest in the promise of eternal life, it does make us think about the legacy we are leaving behind. Kobe Bryant had a huge impact in the basketball arena. 
What kind of mark are we leaving on the arena's that God has provided us?  Will we leave a legacy of love, grace forgiveness and mercy?

If Jesus is your Savior and Lord, you have eternity to spend with Him.  Yet we have only one life, on this earth that we have been given as a gift.  This week let's remember to invest it wisely - to respond to the honored calling to love well those that God has put in our world.

Well done, good and faithful servant! ...Come and share in your master's happiness!"  ~Matthew 25:21
