Practice What You Preach and a Link Up

Those eyes see everything. They’re always watching every move you make. What type of things are you teaching your children? What type of character are you displaying to them? Do you practice what you preach? Do your words and actions match?

We need to “live out loud ” our relationship with the Lord. God’s word states that,

“Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children’s children.” Deuteronomy 4:9

It is our responsibility to teach our children in the ways of the Lord, to create a spiritual legacy that lasts from generation to generation. God does not want us to act one way in public and then another at home.

“¹⁵ I know your deeds, ^B)’> I wish you were either one or the other! ¹⁶ So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:15-16

We need to set a “true” example to our children. One they can follow without hesitation towards a pathway that will guide them to the Savior for years to come.

Now it’s time for a link up party !

The purpose of Leaving A Legacy is three fold. It’s mission is to challenge it’s readers to work on leaving Godly legacies for their children, to be a place of encouragement for its readers, as well as sharing my journey as a cancer survivor.  You can link up your posts that deal with leaving a legacy and ones that offer encouragement to the community.

This link up will be happening every Thursday at Leaving a Legacy. Please tell your friends, and join us on this journey of leaving a Godly legacy for future generations!

• To link up go to the sidebar and get the code for the Legacy Leaver Thursdays button, right click and “save as” on the code and then upload it into your post. Or you can provide a direct link somewhere in your post linking back here. That way other bloggers can join in too!
• Then copy and paste the direct link from your post, (not your blog url), into the linky tool below.
• In order to create an encouraging community here, please take a moment to visit the person in front of you. Thank you!

For those of you that link up throughout the month, I will be choosing a “featured blogger”, for the following month. The featured blogger will be someone who actively participates in the link up, and who’s posts have really touched the community. They will receive free advertising for their blog on my sidebar for that month, and also be allowed to submit one approved guest post during that month.

July’s featured blogger is Eileen from the Scenic Route. Please stop by her blog and read her encouraging words.

I hope you have felt uplifted and renewed while visiting Leaving A Legacy. I want to take a moment to invite you to get additional updates that are not posted here on the blog by connecting with us through Facebook and Twitter.
