Moments in time. Simple gestures. Brief turning points. The little things – as well as the big things – can change lives.

What meal will you cook?

What note will you write?

What video will you share?

What story will you tell?

Forget about your big-picture legacy for a moment, and consider your daily legacy.

What impression will you leave your neighbour, or your co-worker, or your uni friend, or your spouse?

How do your actions show that you truly love God, and that his love lives in you?

It only takes a spark to get a fire going, just as it often only takes one gesture – one story – to change the world around you.

    I’ve been working on this lately…I just sent a letter this week to my BFF from high school. We drifted apart and I wanted her to know how much her friendship meant to me back then. It’s awkward being vulnerable but also very connecting…

      Good on you for taking that step and making a connection. Difficult to do, but I’m sure it meant a lot to her.
