Wednesday - September 18 - works

As people of God, we do our work not because we want to be known as somebody, but because we want somebody else to know.  Some people in this world rise to fame in their works. While others have left no memory and disappeared as though they had not existed. This is the purpose of each life: to bring others to know our Christ.  Not everyone was placed on this earth to be exalted. Many people live an entirely opposite life style. Yet everyone who lives their life for the glory of God and for His purpose, whether revered by many or few, will share in God's goodness forever and pass on a lasting legacy of love.

In their descendants they find a rich inheritance, their posterity. Their descendants stand by the Commandments and, thanks to them, so do their children's children. Their offspring will last forever, their glory will not fade. - Ecclesiasticus 44:11-13
