SANDCASTLES OR BRIDGES

Willim James quote-"The great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it."

We want our legacy to look like a bridge-to lead others to their destinations.

A bridge is very supportive; it holds alot of weight; it helps people cross rough waters.

The materials we use to build our bridge needs to be of lasting value.

1-Solid Foundation-Relationship with Jesus Christ.
2-Priorities-Bible study, prayer, relationship with spouse and children
3-The Words that we speak, Our Tongue
What is down in the well will come up in the bucket.

We will leave a legacy based on the things we say (our tongue) and the things we do (our priorities).

Scriptures used: Matt 6:19; Matt. 7:24-26; James 3; Eph. 4:29
