Legacy

"Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago."

This Warren Buffett quote reminds me of the trees that I have sat under.

• My parents planted many trees. I still sit in the shade of their love for me.
• Taxpayers in New York City planted trees that gave me an excellent education.
• A company planted a pension tree and I enjoy a comfortable retirement.
• Our nation's founders planted trees that provide shade to those who long to be free.
• A man once planted a tree of eternal life for me as he hung on a cross.

My prayer is to be a tree planter. A man who thinks past today. One who is concerned more about providing shade than sitting under it. Someone who wants to leave a legacy of love and compassion. It is my prayer for you too.

Amen
