Remember a few blogs ago when I mentioned that my oldest
daughter is graduating this year? Yeah. She really is. (Crazy, right?) Anyway,
the other day there was this sort of mock ceremony called a baccalaureate,
during which graduating seniors came together, wearing caps and gowns, and
listened to an inspirational speaker.
I’m not going to go into major detail about the speech or
the activity or whatever. But one thing the speaker said really struck me, so I
thought I’d share it here.
He said, “A reputation is built in a day. A legacy is built
in a lifetime.” ~Kacy Benson
It struck home for me. Reputation is fleeting. Legacy is
forever.
If I teach my children nothing more in this life, I hope it
is how little reputation matters when you get to heaven, and how much more
important it is to touch the lives of others, in everything we do, and in every
way we can.
So tell me. What have you done to touch someone’s life
today?

I don't know if I've touched anyone's life today, but some other people have definitely touched mine the past few days. Gives me courage to reach out too. :)
