"All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever." -I Peter 1:24-25
I really like this verse when it is broken down. Lets look at it step by step.
1-There are millions of blades of grass in the world just as there are millions of people.
2-A flower in a field stands out and can be seen for miles. A person who is different stands out the same way.
3-All grass and flowers will wither and die just as all people do.
4-The word of the Lord stands forever.
Lets add to this a little bit. If the word of God stands forever and the word is in us then shouldn't lead us to believe that our "legacy" will stand forever. That can be a scary thought. "What kind of legacy do I have," you might ask? That is for you to decide. We have a choice to be a blade of grass or to be a beautiful flower. If we chose the road of the flower, always remember that you will create your own history. Always strive to make sure that is a legacy you want around for 100's of years...just like the word that is in us.

We don't know who is looking at our example. There is the old saying that some of the best sermons never have words. I have a 6 and a 4 year old. How can I teach them Gods love without showing it everyday. They repeat everything that I say already. Why not make sure that it is the right things.
Thanks again man!!
