Day 604 – Passion – The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 604 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Passion – The Tools in Gramps’ Backpack   Thank you for joining us for our 5 days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast.

We were also able to attend the first dance recital for our granddaughter Aurora and invest time with several family members this past week which is always a blessing. As we continue to adjust to our schedule around Hazel’s leukemia treatments and the impact that this has on our family, which is in many ways positive, it gives us time for a pause to focus on what our true passions are in life. So the tool we will explore today is… Passion Are you passionate about the activities of your life, your loved ones, your work, and your Savior? As a Christ follower, who has been given the gift of eternal life through the sacrifice of Christ, we should be passionate about our service for Him through our lives. This service will incorporate all areas of our lives as we dedicate ourselves to impacting our world. We need to be passionate about our lives and teach this passion to our children,...
