Last will and testament - what Legacy are leaving you?


"I have his spirit are hereby bequeath...". "When my mother passed to his reward in heaven, these words dark sounding as soon as the new meaning for me. I was one of the heirs of Mama. My name, as well as others, was on his legal document with the directions of what it wants to sweat on his disappearance. Mama was no longer with us, but these few cleverly typed words talks about his last will and testament to her, seriously and finally: "I hereby bequeath...". "It has never been rich, but it was her last words. I would gladly have renounced my inheritance to Mama alive again. But it was not to do.

Elapsed days, maybe weeks. It was kind of a blur. But he had to do. So finally, I started to do what had become my responsibility of sorting through personal Mama as well as some questions could be completed things. It has always been a piétée woman and a mother who sacrificed his life for the sake of his family. Was little, a few small trinkets and souvenirs and box notes and various writings she had written over the years. It is in this area I found mirror was Mama, which was in her heart.I wasn't an heir simply money and things mum had inherited something much more value; I had received a rich heritage.

Webster dictionary said "legacy" or "heritage" is that anything sent to the heirs. but usually applies to something other than real property or material things. My mother had passed to my belief in God and his love for his commands and means. She had tried throughout his life to install me as his child.But as I read his "thoughts" by poems and notes after his death that I have gained insight into the true I reçu.Et is to me. What would be the final results of all this?

Thoughts began to weigh heavily on my mind. Thoughts of this heritage, I'd pass to those I love? Is it money?Land? houses? Alternatively, the heritage that leave my children would have the eternal value? And - they receive willingly or he despises?

We read in the Bible of Esau.He was contemptuous of his right of primogeniture (Heritage), so he vend.Nous could say, he threw it considering what he received in place of him. But what is often overlooked in the history of Esau is that it does not only sell or discard its right of primogeniture. Actually stole the birth of his son and right of primogeniture sound grandson, and so forth. They even never had the choice in the matter.

Could anyone ever think that Esau - or later his grandson and indeed his posterity together, have chosen to sell him his right of primogeniture son he donated by Isaac? This is a legacy that could change if only they had the opportunity to receive all the management and the future of their lives. Esau is a very stupid choice. But what is with me: I am a "Esau?Would it be I sell my birthright right?

The most important legacy or heritage, a person could ever receive a grandparent or parent is a strong belief in the word of God and of its principles - with the understanding of the need to comply with its standards. However, anyone who has been with for having such a legacy passed was the choix.Nous can receive and by the grace of God, strive to keep our heritage saved - and pass on to our children. Over time, will do the same and transmit to their children and so forth. Alternatively, we can be like Esau.

When a parent blessed to have a heritage piety incriminating choice here and there, they are not to pass on their wealth to their place of this enfants.Au, they are stolen legacy of their child and their child childhood.These children, because if a choice may wish the legacy of their grandparents and relative, if only they had been given the chance.

Parents how much is there today, which, like Esau, previously a legacy of their parents?They had been raised in the homes of piety and taught the ways of God.But along the way, they believed that "what is the problem with a bit of this or this?""I will live by the rules of these ole fogies."Until finally, like Esau, they despise their right birthright and sell for a more contemporary Christianity - an easier with any "cross," so no commitment - except in entertainment, ideas and ways of the world.

We read the warning from God in Jeremiah 6: 16, "ye thus saith the Lord, stand in the way which: see and ask the old paths, where is the good way and walk through it and you will find rest for you âmes.Mais they said, we will walk in it."

I dare trade rich legacy that prior generations have passed the me - for a bowl of soup watery - many market easy and user-friendly contemporary Christianity today? life my children, their children, their children – and their future may depend on my choix.Je not dare make such exchange stupide.Je "ask for the old paths" and "walk there in" (Jeremiah 6: 16) .puis as my last will and testament the time is read, I trust in God that my heirs, knowing with certainty and cherish the legacy I've left, say, "The Lord is the part of the legacy of mine...""Yes, I have a considerable heritage" (PS. 16: 5, 6).
