Friday Reflections {On a Saturday}

It's been one of those weeks. You know the kind...where every little thing that can goes wrong does. Or at least it seems that way.

And just when you think it's time for things to improve, something else goes wrong.

Yep, that's been my week.

I was trying to work on my "legacy" this week by loving on my boys, spending quality time with them, and introducing them to new things.

Added to that is the opportunity to work on another part of who I am...part of my legacy.

Resilience.

In my life, I have been knocked down more times than I care to count. I know it could be worse, but the challenges seem to come in the form or fashion that fit the person. You get hit where it hurts the most.

So this week I have practiced pushing through problems and frustrations. I let my kids see me be weak and then get up and keep moving. I want them to know it's okay to get discouraged but they don't have to stay down. Keep pressing on!

Motivation Monday {What Is Your Legacy?}

Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.  - Matthew 6:19-21

In class tonight we discussed what gives meaning to a person's life. What do you value? What do you put your heart into? How do you want to be remembered?

Good questions that should make you pause to see if you are on track for where you think you should be. If not, are you willing to do what's necessary to accomplish the goal?
