What will I work for that I would like the future generation to inherit?
What is an inheritance?
What have I inherited?
A love of the outdoors. Not just an appreciation of nature; the kind of love that puts it on a pedestal in a museum. No, the kind of love that makes me want to drink it in, spend my life in it, and roll around in the grass. My father’s final days were spent in the woods feeding animals, watching the leaves fall, and feeling each season come and go.
I inherited a fascination with information and learning. I want to read everything, listen to every lecture, and work with smart people.
I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this on. That my children will dismiss the wealth of data in the world and not go exploring in corners covered in dust and cobwebs to learn facts of which they never conceived.
I want to leave an inheritance for my children. Not just an inheritance of money, but one of knowledge, joy, and hope. I want them to be lost in the wonder of a faith that drives their life even when they don't know where they are going. A faith that will carry them even when I can't.
