How do we leave a Godly Legacy that honors God?\\xa0

\\u201cThe great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.\\u201d\\u2014William James

(Galatians 6:7-10) \\u201cDo not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people\\u2026\\u201d

\\u201cThe price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.\\u201d\\xa0\\u2013Henry David Thoreau\\xa0

(1 Corinthians 3:12-14)\\xa0 \\u201cIf any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, his work will be shown for what it is, but the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man\\u2019s work. If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward.\\u201d
