A Blessed Sunday: My Heritage of Faith, My Legacy
It was been a long time since I write about Sunday, my internet was just slow to open pages since the frequent raining last month. Today is the first Sunday of the month so the church service was a bit early, after drinking a cup of coffee I headed to the church nearby. Pastor E’s scripture reading for today was from 1 Thessalonians 1: 1-3, with a new topic for the whole month which is “My Heritage of Faith, My Legacy”.
When we die, we all leave a legacy behind. Have you ever considered what legacy to leave when you die? How do we want to be remember?

According to Paul on verse 3 one of the character of a lasting legacy is faith, faith produces good work. Faith is when God invade our hearts, when He let Him do the things for us and accepting His ways rather than doing our own ways. The second character is the legacy of love, a labor prompted by love. Pastor E set an examples what is laboring love, the first one is loving without getting anything in return, the other example is accepting your spouse imperfections, he reiterated how a couple is perfect before marriage, but after marriage all imperfections arises and choosing to accept those imperfections are called labor of love, the last one is the legacy of hope inspired of endurance.
Pastor E finished his preaching by leaving an quotes from Benjamin Franklin that says “If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.”
