The way you come into this world and the way you will go out. What happens in between is what really matters.

With the passing of my dear friend, Karen Haas Smith, I have been reflecting on life and how have I lived it thus far. Karen lost a 3.5 year battle with cancer on Friday, June 10. She lived longer than any doctor previously thought she would. Karen was a woman of laughter, love, grace and determination. She loved Jesus and is now spending eternity with Him.

What will be said about me when I die? What will be said about you? How will you be remembered by your friends and family? What legacy will we leave behind?

How do you want to be remembered? Start there. Answer that question and then live your life accordingly. We all come into this world barefooted and we will leave barefooted. Live your life in – between leaving a legacy that will be remembered by others.
