A Written Legacy
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write things worth reading or do things worth writing. (Benjamin Franklin, 18th century American political leader)
Franklin’s many writings, including numerous pithy adages, and his prodigious work for the American Revolution are certainly worth reading. The volumes he’s written along with the articles about him would fill a library. All are worth reading. What about our own legacy? What are we leaving from our life’s experiences that will be of benefit to our family and community?
A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children. (Proverbs 13:22)
