I would like my children to remember a mother who prayed with them, taught them as much as she could about the Lord and how to live a life pleasing to Him, who not only spoke the words, but lived the life as an example to them.

I want them to remember that I liked to laugh, and have fun with them. I want them to remember how much I loved them, even when I didn't feel like it. And that I know they loved me, even when they didn't feel like it.

I want them to remember that I was able to get through the difficult times with my eyes fixed on Christ, that I was able to be joyful even when I couldn't see through my tears. I want them to remember that I tried to find the lessons in the trials, and then apply them to my life.

I want my children to remember that I tried to teach them that it is more important to tell the truth than to find favour with men. I want them to remember that I tried to instill in them that who they are, no, Whose they are, is more important than what they do. But that what they do should reflect Whose they are.

I want them to remember the heritage they have that comes from having not only parents but grandparents and great-grandparents who loved God, and I want them to pass that heritage to their own children and grandchildren.

I want them to forget that I failed in so many ways, but I want them to remember enough to not make the same mistakes that I did. I want them to realize that I was not perfect, but that I did the job I was given as their mother to the best of my ability, with God's help.

I want them to remember that I loved to sing, that music was a very important facet of my life. I want them to remember that I loved to read, and that I found great joy in creating beautiful items with my hands. I want them to remember that I tried to keep learning new things, even when I got old.



And, if you ask MelMak, in particular, he will tell you that I taught him to "do it right the first time". Which saves a whole lot of stress and time in "do-overs".

Tweb?

I am sure Tweb will only remember the pin.

Wow.

Been weeding out my subscriptions.

This is one thread worth resurrecting.

[Xmansmommy]

I cannot believe I didn't even share my own. Guess that's what happens when you don't post often and you don't subscribe to threads.

Patricia, what a wonderful legacy you want to leave for your family and loved ones! I have no doubt that you will indeed reach your desires.

Legacy? Forget that. I'm just here to learn, if someone gets something useful from me, then you should plea bargain me into heaven if you're right.

I want to hear you, Linda.

I'd like people to remember me for my love, tolerance and acceptance of others here on TWeb. I want to be an encouragement to those that are suffering and in need of help. I'd like to meet others' needs when I can. I'd like people to think that I was open minded while at the same time, committed to the principles and beliefs that I embrace. I want to be a woman of integrity and humility.

In so many ways the internet, and TWeb in particular, has challenged me to be all of those things and more. And while I have, at times failed, many of the conversations I've had here have caused me to reflect on whether or not I was living out my faith and to what extent. Being confronted with these issues has allowed me to make changes when necessary.

I don't post here much anymore because I still struggle with being critical of certain styles of discussion. I hope that even in that, I have been what I've desired to be. A woman who adds persuasiveness to her lips.

Thank you TWeb, for the opportunity for personal growth.

I can live with just being remembered, and hopefully it is in a good way.

I have sure appreciated your wisdom lately, kiddo!

The legacy I would like to leave my family.....

I want my kids to know that I made mistakes along the path but that I learned from them. I want them to know how deep my love for them is and how that love continues to blossom and mature.

While I want them to come to their own conclusions about God, faith and practice, I want them to be able to respect me for being a woman who practiced what she preached ().

I would love them to remember the quality time we spent together reading, praying and living out our beliefs. I want to teach them how to love and serve others (something I'm just beginning to really explore myself) so as to breed love.

I want them to always remember to laugh. Despite the hardships life inevitably brings, I hope they can always find something to laugh about. I want them to remember how silly I can be and how much fun we had laughing and giggling about silly things.

I want to be able to instill in them, a sense of self worth, integrity, humility and charity...among other things.

I want them to never fear saying they're sorry. They have seen me make plenty of mistakes and apologize for them, even to them. I hope that when they are confronted with things in life which require self examination, that they might be intellectually honest with themselves and others. And where that may mean they have to apologize for their own behaviors, I hope I've taught them how to be courageous enough to do so, despite the outcome.

I hope by being an example to them, they can see what it means to desire to and to do the right thing, whatever the situation. And to be willing to admit their failures and correct them.

I'm sure there are many other things I'd love to be remembered for by my family. And as I think of them, I will share them.

Being challenged to learn is an excellent reason to participate on TWeb. I applaud you!

No doubt you are thought of fondly and will be remembered for your kindness and your sense of humor. By me anyway.

Oh and let's not forget for being easily enticed to get a tune stuck in your head by the infamous, r00bzster.
