About

Land

Ground or soil of a specified situation, nature, or quality 

“Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend;
you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left.”

– Aldo Leopold

Legacy

Something received from an ancestor or predecessor or from the past.

“Jesus shows us how to leave a legacy, a legacy of glory, His glory, not ours. If, by His grace, we become humble, dependent, proven, focused, persevering, obedient, and faithful men and women who focus our lives on making the Father known to those He gives to us, we will leave a legacy of glory. Not our glory, but His, the glory He wants to give to the Father through us.”

What greater legacy could we leave?

“The legacy we leave is the life we lead, the life of Christ in us and through us passed on to others in the power of the Holy Spirit.”
