At one time in my life I worried because I felt I would not be leaving any kind of mark on the world when I am gone.  I felt I would leave no legacy.  No one would know I was even here.  The thought created allot of anxiety for me.  I have always been close to my family.  My present family, My family of generations past and my future family not yet arrived to this existence, have always been the most important part of me.  I suppose that is the reason that my family history has always been such an interest and important tome.  I have always felt the family is first and for most in my life.  For this reason I provide the day care for my grandchildren.  Once the first grandchild arrived I retired from work to provide the day care.  It is not easy financially but it is the most important.  I believe children are best raised by their families.  If mom and dad must work, the children need another stable family member to care for and teach them.  I have always had these feelings, even before I had children myself.  I find it very faith confirming when I received a sort of prophecy years ago about my life.  It stated that heavenly fathers purpose for me in this life was of wife and mother.  I would be the nurturer of my generations and the keeper of the family and its history.  It stated that I was not intended for greatness by today’s standards but will be blessed to my family and future generations.  I had never spoken of my feelings of leaving behind no legacy to any one.  I find it comforting that heavenly father had already layd out a plan for me and that the things I cherish so are just the things he had planed for me.  I discovered my legacy is my family.
