God Bless YOU!
Part of my morning routine, before my children wake up, is to check my phone.
This morning, as I was checking my messages, I came across a post by Franklin Graham where he makes a Statement about Queen Elizabeth's passing.
After reading Franklin's post, I was left in deep thought about a few statements he made. I would like to share three statements from his post with you.
From Franklin's Graham post:
* I will always appreciate her example of leadership and her life of integrity.
* My father [Billy Graham] said he found Queen Elizabeth "to be a woman of rare modesty and character."
*He also appreciated how she often talked about Jesus Christ during her public addresses—there was never any question about where she placed her faith.
..her example of leadership and integrity. ..a woman of rare modesty and character. ..expressed her trust in Jesus in her public addresses...never a question about where she placed her faith.
Wow! That really left me pondering...
What legacy am I leaving behind?
What impact am I making on people?
Am I glorifying God with absolutely EVERYTHING I do?
Am I helping people become who God's called them to be?
Am I pointing people to God every opportunity I get?
My thoughts are racing.
I know what God's Word calls me to do. The Bible is "a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path" (Psalms 119:105). While the Bible is my compass for life, I appreciate meeting and knowing of people who can challenge ME to be a better Christian and a pro-active example to those around me.
That being said, today, I thank God for speaking to me thru Franklin Graham's post on Queen Elizabeth's exemplary life.
I pray YOU, reading this post, are challenged as well to be a blessing to ALL around you. Because even when we are not speaking directly to people, how we carry ourselves, what we say, how we dress, how we live our life... CAN impact others.
May God help us live a life that points people to Him!
Our deepest condolences to the Royal Family. While they are in deep mourning, I know they find comfort in knowing that Queen Elizabeth is now with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
For God's glory,
