It's Not Gonna Last!

Things will pass away. Things will be forgotten. Things definitely don't last. Yesterday I went by the place where  I taught tennis lessons for several summers and was the sight of many big tournament wins for me, the Warm Springs Tennis Club in Ketchum. These courts were once some of the most amazing around. The scenery surrounding them was breathtaking. But years ago they were sold for development, which obviously never took place. Now these courts are a far cry from the glory they once held. If these courts could speak. Some of the biggest names in tennis have hit here. Many great matches and finals were played here. I even remember beating a young Steve Appleton on this very court 20 years ago. But how easy it is for us to forget that most things won't last. Whether a car, a home, a phone, a tennis club, or a person, they will one day pass away. Life is fragile and often too short. Things are going to come to an end but legacies won't end when a person does. What's the legacy you're leaving? How are people going to remember you in the days ahead? The legacy you're leaving is being built right now! Some of the things I want to be remembered for are my love for the Lord and for others, and the fruit of the Spirit operating in my life (I have many others but you get the idea). If I want people to remember these, then they need to be operating in my life today. It's not too late to start working on the legacy you'd like to leave. Start today...
