WHEN I MET A STRANGER YEARS AGO

'What sort of legacy do you want to leave behind?' I asked. 

He responded, 'Hopefully, a strong man, not just physically, but a strong man in every aspect. Especially in that of his character. And his faith. A man that knew when to lead and when to listen to wise counsel. A man that loved with all he had for as long as he could. A man that could give everything away to save one life. A man that had an impact in people's lives. Left an impression. And a good one at that. A man who stood for something he believed in rather than fall for anything. A man who prayed everyday on his knees for God's wisdom and help. A man who showed grace and mercy to those who didn't deserve it. And kindness to those who could offer nothing in return. A man who was not afraid to do what had to be done and a man of his word. A man people could count on, lean on, and trust. A man like that. I wanna leave that legacy. So that when people think of me, that's what they think of.'
