A Lasting Legacy

Bible in a Year : Psalms 137–139; 1 Corinthians 13

[Eve] said, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man.” Genesis 4:1

Thomas Edison invented the first practical electric light bulb. Jonas Salk developed an effective polio vaccine. Amy Carmichael penned many of the hymns we sing in worship. But what about you? Why were you put on earth? How will you invest your life?

Genesis 4 tells us that Eve “became pregnant and gave birth to Cain.” After holding Cain for the first time, Eve announced, “With the help of the Lord I have brought forth a man” (v. 1). In an effort to explain the surprising experience of the very first birth, Eve uses a phrase dripping with dependency on the sovereign aid of God: “With the help of the Lord.” Eventually, through Eve’s seed, God would provide rescue for His people through another Son (John 3:16). What a legacy!

Parenthood is just one of many ways people make lasting contributions to this world. Perhaps your offering will burst forth from a room where you write or knit or paint. You might be an example for another who is deprived of godly influence. Or your investment might even come after your death in ways you could never imagine. It may be the work you leave behind or your reputation for integrity in business. In any case, will your words echo Eve’s dependency on God? With the help of the Lord, what will you do for His honor?

Reflect & Pray

How do you want to be remembered after you leave this world? In what ways will you seek God’s help to make that happen?

Dear God, may I lean into You in all I do, because it is only with Your help that I can bring forth a lasting legacy.

Happy Labor Day! God bless all American workers, today and every day. Whatever you do for a living, you are making America great again by getting up every day and giving an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay!

(BTW, if you can find them, read Pope Leo 13’s encyclicals about the value of work annd the sanctity of the working man and woman.)

Remember: Laborare est Orare! (To Work is to Pray.)

WELCOME TO

Good morning, Everyone.

Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
Thank you for all you do.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen
for today's activities.

Well, summer may be over, but
the heat and humidity surely are not!

I think we are going to get to the pool today
before they close it down for the winter.

Dropping by to say hello.
Hope everyone has a fun and relaxing Labor Day.
Can't stick around;
hubby and are going for a long walk
and then a bit of shopping for later.
Seems hubby has unofficially, officially retired. LOL

Remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

So, come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea, pancakes,
conversation, silliness, and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

FR CANTEEN MISSION STATEMENT
