Our hoped for legacy to our children

As parents, Soulmate and I hope we are building a legacy for our children on how to live their lives.   We see this as an important role for us as parents. These would include those important lessons we have learned in life and hope that they saw in us at least some of the time.  Most of these are things that we learned along the way from God, from His Word, and from others God placed in our lives.  

Our hoped for legacy to our children include the following beliefs:

1. The sufficiency of God in all circumstances
2. In a hopeless world, He is our hope.
3. There's always room at our table for others.
4. There is great joy in giving.
5. When you point your finger at someone, there are three pointing back at you.
6. Love deeply and freely and unconditionally.
7. A true leader serves.
8. Forgive 70 x 7.
9. The importance of saying I love you regularly and especially to people in our life who don't hear it often.
10. We have a God placed responsibility to the whole world not just our community or country.

My prayer is that in my flawed living, my children saw some small evidence of these in my life along the way.    

Love to all of you out there or no one - whichever fits. J
