Leaving a Legacy

As a man with a family, it seems that we are often concerned with one question: "What would happen to my family if something happened to me and God took me home earlier than expected?"

Most men constantly think about saving money so they have a financial nest egg or money for their kid's college fund. Looking ahead we feel the necessity of having funds set aside as a legacy that I can leave for the family. These thoughts come to mind often, which is admirable and things we should do.Leaving a financial legacy is important but even more important is a spiritual legacy. What are we doing to ensure our spiritual legacy leaves a lasting impact on our families and friends?If you died tomorrow what would everyone around you think? Would they think that your testimony for God was strong and impacted them greatly? Has it motivated others to get closer to God?Can you honestly say out loud that you feel good about your Godly testimony?
