Tonight I made the mistake to visit ancestry.com and take them up on their offer of 14 FREE days. I am forever curious of who I came from. I wonder what they were like. What was life like back then.
So one hour went to two and I kept adding more and more to my family tree. I found actual documents from the Census, military records, death certificates. It is amazing what they have put online now.
As I was entering the data I thought about my grandpa who just died and then my grandpa that died a few years back. I have such fond memories about both of them that the days seem so distant that they were once here and yet their memory lingers in the person I have become. The person their stories and lessons have helped to shape.
If I have learned anything it’s that the legacy we leave behind to our family and friends could be the most important legacy of all. Money, possessions they are empty and worthless. Storing up treasures in heaven...priceless.
