Attitude of Gratitude - Inspired by a Legacy of Love

A young police officer and Marine boldly in Afganistan and his two tours in Iraq, and more quietly here stateside lived out a legacy each and every day that encouraged and inspired. Every day simple gestures that changed the world around him....yet to him, a simple act of kindness so much a part of his nature that it required no deliberation or second thought. Little did he know buying cookies for a young boy would be his last interaction with another on this earth.

How would you be remembered? Would it be your kindness? love? mercy? inspiration or even sense of humor that lit a room? Would it be an act "heard round the world" such as our young police officer?

And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body [a]to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 [b]bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails;(1 Corinthians 13:3-8a)

I hope the following inspires you to live your life out loud in love and listen to that voice inside of you that prompts you to act and JUST DO IT. Every step you take will become more familiar and before you know it, your life will reflect a life of love and kindness and every day will hold "life changing" moments as those around you witness/feel your love in action.
