Leaving a Legacy

I posted a few new pics of Kate at the end of this post.  You'll notice that my Sunday posts are usually related to what's on my heart spiritually.  This is such an important part of our life and I want to share it with those of you who check in to see how we are doing.  

In the last week of our series at church, we talked about leaving a legacy behind.  I remember when I first started at LSU, my boss who I admire very much asked me what I wanted my legacy to be.  I remember being kind of shaken by that question at the time.  I didn't have an answer.  I'd just finished graduate school and while my new job was really important to me, I knew that I didn't want my job to be my legacy.  I love this song by Nichole Nordeman (my favorite artist).  She talks about leaving a legacy that matters.  Here are some of my favorite lines, followed by the video.  

"Did I choose to love?  Did I point to you enough to make a mark on things?  I want to leave an offering.  Child of mercy and grace who blessed your name unapologetically.  Leave that kind of legacy."  

"Not well-traveled, not well-read.  Not well to-do or well-bred.  I just want to hear instead 'well done, good and faithful worker.'" 




Kate continues her quest to break into Alli's crate. 

She hasn't played with this in a while, but just seemed to notice it again yesterday.
