The Ultimate Legacy
It's almost a year ago now.The husband of one of the ladies who is active in our school passed away. 44 years old. He woke up during the night saying he was not feeling well.A short time later, he was gone, heart attack. It hit our school very hard.He was a street cleaner for the town, a very common, ordinary man.The wait to get into the funeral home was 45 minutes to an hour,just to get in!The Buffalo News wrote a half page article on him titled"An Extrordinary Ordinary Man".Wow, what a legacy. Let's face it, most of us fall into the ordinary category,especially me.(boring too)We're called by God,not to do exceptional things for Him,but TO BE EXCEPTIONAL IN ORDINARY THINGS.If I can do THAT,if I can BE that, perhaps I could get close to the kind of legacy that Eric left,which continues to inspire me to this day.
