I want to leave a legacy.
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love?
Did I point to You enough to make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering as a child of mercy and grace who blessed Your name unapologetically.
Not “well-traveled,” not “well-read,” not “well-to-do” or “well-bred.”
I just want to hear instead, “Well done, good and faithful one.”
