Fame

Whenever I hear that word, "Fame", I think of the song. You know the one that goes, "I'm gonna live forever" and "Baby, remember my name." Yeah that's about all I remember. What can I say, it's before
my time. The truth is, in light of what is going on today, it is something I have on my mind. Some of you may be my regular readers, some of you may be coming to my site because you saw the link to my book onThe Time Warp Wife webpage. (If that's the reason by the way, soooo cool and welcome).

Now I am in no way implying that I'm famous or even that I ever will be, but if I were to become famous what is it that I would want to be famous for? What do I want people to remember about my name? About my life? About my character? While writing a book, writing for Deliberate Women, and writing my own blog are fun and amazing things, I hope that is not all that people see or remember of me after I am gone.

I hope that my children remember a mom who loved them and loved to teach them about Jesus. I hope that my husband remembers a wife who respects and values him and chooses to behave as Christ would in our relationship. I hope that my friends and family remember how much I loved and cared for them and that they remember the times I was able to point them to good Godly advice and scripture. I hope that the world can see Christ's love and a hope for eternity through my life. I hope that my legacy for future generations of grandchildren and great grandchildren is a Christ-centered one.

I guess through all of this I have learned, that if someone were to look at me or something that I have worked on and remember one name, I would want that name to be Jesus.

What legacy do you want to leave behind?
