Stay tuned.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife This Week<\/em>. I'm Michelle Hill. Have you ever thought about the stuff you're going to pass down to the next generation? What about the stuff that's been passed on to <em>you<\/em>?\u2014well, there's your eye color, and your hair color, and the shape of your nose, and your body type\u2014basically, your DNA. Oh, wait! We're not watching <em>CSI<\/em> or a forensics show right now; are we?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo go back to the things that are true of you\/the things that you pass on to your children. Let's take a moment and think through the things that, maybe, someone has passed on to <em>you<\/em>. Your friends and family\u2014they are gathered around a conference room table in an attorney's office\u2014okay; we all know that the gatherings don't happen anymore to read the wills, but it's more dramatic; so just go with me on this!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou're biting your fingernails, because it would be nice to, you know, have some extra money to upgrade some things in your house. And you <em>know<\/em> that Aunt Thelma\u2014she thought really highly of you\u2014or maybe it's just that bureau in her entry way. Hey, I have claimed a nice bookcase in my parents\u2019 house already, just so you know. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut what if, at the reading of the will, she leaves you integrity, character, or an example of a faithful walk with God? Now, that's what we should call a rich, and full, and robust inheritance; it's a godly legacy, and it's where a life lives on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe just heard, a minute ago, from Louis Upkins. Louis\u2014he knows what legacy is all about\u2014it's how he's tried to live his life personally and, also, professionally. He's an entrepreneur, an author, and a speaker. He's worked on projects for Starbucks, UPS, and many other Fortune 500 companies.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn an interview with Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine in the FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Studios, he shared what was most important when the coffin sits in the front of the church and the people are all gathered around. Here's Louis.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Previous <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Broadcast]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> I was just at a funeral of a highly-successful business guy. I, actually, was <em>grieved<\/em> as I sat in the funeral; because, in the front, they had a collage of all of his kind of significant moments\u2014the first McDonald's he opened; you know, the first BMW he drove; and all these trappings. As people came in\u2014you know, major politicians\/major business leaders\u2014everybody kind of walked in with this spirit of: \u201cLet me check it off the box,\u201d\u2014you know\u2014\u201cI\u2019ve got 15 minutes. Let me walk in and be seen and, then, leave.\u201d It was almost like \u201cBusiness as usual.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere wasn't <em>one<\/em> person crying in this funeral except his 13-year-old son; he was the <em>only<\/em> person crying. What I felt in my spirit, as I watched that kid was: \u201cThis kid is crying because he didn't get what all these other people got. Everybody else got all of his time: they had him on every kind of committee, serving on every kind of board. Yes, he had all the accolades about being a great business leader, community leader, etc.; but yet, at the end of the day, it was just a check-off-the-box moment for these business leaders; but it was legacy and it was impact for that child; and that child is going to <em>mourn<\/em> because of the absence of his father.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That's an incredible illustration. Yesterday morning, I read this passage from Psalm 112, and these two verses are my life verses: \u201cPraise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> There's more to a legacy than how much of an inheritance you leave your kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Absolutely; and that reminds me, Dennis, of\u2014I think God has allowed me to see one of the most powerful glimpses of my legacy in my son, Caleb, who was seven at the time\u2014I'd been out of town. I had been away on business; came home. Caleb comes downstairs, and he looks like he's seen a ghost.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cCaleb! What\u2019s wrong, son?\u201d He said, \u201cDad, God just spoke to me.\u201d He had never used these words before; and I said, \u201cWhat do you mean, son?\u201d My wife Charita\u2014she was preparing for bed\u2014she said: \u201cBoy! Go to bed. You\u2019re just trying to stay up, because your dad's been out of town!\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Playing the God-card!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s using God!\u201d [Laughter] She's like, \u201cYou\u2019re just trying to work your dad.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cNo, hold on; hold on for a second, honey. Hold up.\u201d I said: \u201cCaleb, come here for a second. Tell me what\u2014tell me what God said.\u201d He gets really close to me, Dennis; and he said, \u201cDad, He told me that they're going to be five homeless men that are on the sidewalk right now. He wants me to go feed them. They're going to be asleep, and He wants me to go feed them.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cOkay.\u201d I'm sitting up in my\/in my bed now, because this is a significant moment. I said, \u201cCaleb, you\u2019re going to learn a valuable lesson tonight.\u201d I said, \u201cWhen God speaks, you listen and you move.\u201d He said, \u201cDad\u201d\u2014he said\u2014\u201cImmediately!\u201d He took my hand and put it on his chest. It was just pounding [thumping hand on chest] like he had been running a race. I said, \u201cOkay, Caleb.\u201d I said, \u201cDo me a favor, son.\u201d I said, \u201cGo get dressed.\u201d Now, it's about 11:15; and my wife is looking at me like, \u201cYou idiot.\u201d I mean\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> And so I said, \u201cGo get dressed, son.\u201d I sit up, and he goes and he gets dressed. He comes down; and I said, \u201cCaleb, what are we going to feed them?\u201d He said, \u201cWell, I'll go get my food.\u201d He goes into the kitchen\u2014gets all of his lunchroom food\u2014he didn't take anything else except the stuff that he takes to school for lunch: bottled water and all this different stuff. He comes back, and he has a big garbage bag; and he has it loaded up with food.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe says, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be five men, Dad.\u201d And I said, \u201cOkay.\u201d I said, \u201cOkay, son; we're on our way to see a valuable lesson.\u201d We get in the car. Now it's 11:30. We pull out the back of the neighborhood; it's 19 degrees that night; it\u2019s the coldest night in Nashville. We drive all the way to downtown Nashville\u2014that's 45 minutes from where we live\u2014and there's not a <em>soul<\/em> on the street.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI look in the back as soon as we get on the main road. I look in the back, and Caleb is sound asleep! I said: \u201cCaleb! What are you doing, man?! You going to go to sleep on me?\u201d He said, \u201cDad, I\u2019ll wake up when we get there.\u201d [Laughter] I'm driving all the way to downtown; and I'm thinking, \u201cOkay; I'll just go.\u201d I go all the way into downtown, and I see these three people on a park bench. I make a turn and pull over and start giving them food\u2014they\u2019re: \u201cThank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Now, was Caleb awake at this point? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Yes; he\u2019s awake at this point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So he's helping you pass out the food?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> No; he's just looking.

There are five men lying on the sidewalk, sound asleep. I said: \u201cCaleb! There they are!\u201d We go over to them; we give them the water; we talk to them; we pray with them. We get back in the car. Caleb said, \u201cDad, I told you!\u201d and he goes right back to sleep.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe beauty of that, for me, was\u2014when you talk about legacy and you talk about yielding to the voice of God\u2014God couldn\u2019t have given me a greater gift than to see that in my son already, and him yielding to it, and responding to it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.

Today, we're talking about legacy: what we\u2019re actively doing <em>now<\/em> for the next generation. And there's this story that I heard, a while back; and I just\/I <em>have<\/em> to share it with you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt's a story told by Crawford Loritts. Crawford is Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Crawford and his wife Karen speak at FamilyLife's <em>Weekend to Remember<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. He's written numerous books, and he's been on <em>FamilyLife Today <\/em>numerous times. Crawford also hosts two nationally-syndicated radio programs.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tListen to these titles: <em>Living a Legacy<\/em> and <em>Legacy Moment<\/em>. What's the common word there?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's Crawford, sharing about his great-grandfather, Peter, a man who had an eternal perspective.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Recorded Message]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Crawford:<\/strong> My great grandfather\u2014his name was Peter\u2014was a slave on a Louisiana plantation. Now, during the Civil War, apparently, Peter migrated with the family that owned him to Catawba County, North Carolina; that's where our roots are. Peter was an illiterate man: he couldn\u2019t read, and he couldn't write. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeter had two things, though, that has marked each succeeding generation. He loved Jesus with all of his heart. The story is told that he had memorized\u2014I know he was illiterate\u2014but he had memorized entire portions of Scripture. You know what he used to do? He used to make his children and grandchildren read to him\u2014over, and over, and over, and over again\u2014his favorite passages. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSecondly, Peter had a deep, passionate commitment to his family. He had three children: my grandfather, Milton; my great uncle, Uncle HP, Milton's brother; and their sister, Aunt Georgia. My Grandfather Milton had seven boys and seven girls\/fourteen kids. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou say: \u201cWell, look! You mean Peter's your great grandfather?\u201d Yes; because, see, my dad is the youngest boy; and he\u2019s 80. It was his grandfather that was a slave. They were brought up in the heyday of the Klan in the rural South. My dad worked for over \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t30 years for A&amp;P Warehouse. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy father never went to any family conference; he never read a book on the family. I don't even think, other than me telling him, he even knows who James Dobson is. [Laughter] But every Saturday was family day. I played Little League baseball there at the Boy's Club on Littleton Avenue; and my father used to finagle his schedule around, because he had to work nights. He used to work the shift\u20144 to 12\u2014but whenever I had games, he would finagle his schedule around so he could be with me. He would stand at the same place all the time, right along first baseline\/that chain-link fence, and he would just cheer me on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI never had any need that my father didn't break his back to supply. I remember an argument that he and my mother had\u2014I was a little guy\u2014I was about eight years old. They needed the money for something, and it was Christmas time. If my dad had worked the holidays, he could've made triple time\u2014but I'll never forget these words\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\the said: \u201cSylvia, I'm not going to do that.\u201d My dad's not a lazy man: \u201cThat would be blood money,\u201d\u2014I'll never forget that line\u2014\u201cThese kids need me around here a little bit more.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLast April, I was on my way to Africa; in fact, it was late that Sunday night. I get this phone call, near midnight, from my mother\u2014they live in Roanoke, Virginia; we live in Atlanta\u2014that's about an eight-hour drive away. My mother was on the phone, and she was crying. She said, \u201cYou gotta come up and see about your daddy.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat's wrong?\u201d \u201cWell, honey, I'm at the hospital; and they don't expect him to live.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNeedless to say, I caught the first flight the next morning up there to Virginia\u2014I get there\u2014my sisters and myself. I'll never forget this scene\u2014we're standing around the bed\u2014I was up near his head; my mother was over here; my two sisters were down here. I'll never forget him looking at me; and he said, \u201cWell, boy,\u201d\u2014tears coming down his cheeks\u2014\u201cI did the very best I could.\u201d And I knew exactly what he meant by that. I leaned over and kissed him; I said, \u201cPop, you did a great job!\u201d [Sniffling[ Please forgive me, but it's a strange thing when you see the passing of an era. You realize that your dad's not going to be around much longer to sit on the front porch and tell you those old stories. Now, it's my turn to tell my kids and my grandkids those old stories. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Emotion in voice] You see, nobody will ever know who my father was; nobody will ever know who my Grandfather Milton was. We can't even find Peter's grave, although he's buried behind the church there across the street from the old homestead. But every time I stand before a group like this, and every time they mention my name or they say, \u201cDr. Loritts,\u201d or every time I sit in a board meeting, or every time somebody reads an article that I write, I stand on the shoulders of great men. I stand on the shoulders of people who quietly did the job. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to tell you something\u2014if a former slave could do it, who couldn't read or couldn't write; if my dad could do it\u2014why can't we do it? Why <em>can't<\/em> we do it?! We can turn the tide in this country, but it's going to take some rolling up the sleeves. It\u2019s going to take some self-denial. It's going to take some reordering of priorities. It's going to take some tough decisions; but we can do it; by God's grace, we can do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Michelle:<\/strong> That's Crawford Loritts, talking about a legacy of, well, giants\/standing on the shoulders of giants. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's my question for you: \u201cHow many giants\u2019 shoulders are <em>you<\/em> standing on? Do you know?\u201d Maybe we should look at it the opposite way: \u201cAre <em>your<\/em> shoulders the <em>giant<\/em> shoulders that the next generation will be standing on?\u201d\u2014just something to think about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's the cool thing for the Loritts family: \u201cThis legacy, that began with an illiterate man, who memorized Scripture, it's been going strong for over 150 years. It's continuing into the future. Crawford's son, Bryan, is a preacher, just like his dad. Bryan is the lead Pastor at Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in California. \u201cCan the man preach?!\u201d\u2014I heard him last summer, and I haven't been able to shake what he shared; and that's probably a good thing. I wanted you to hear a story that he shared about prayer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Recorded Message]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bryan:<\/strong> The story\u2019s told of an old Southern town that was experiencing, in Georgia, a horrific drought. It was an agricultural community. As the days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, this drought was wreaking havoc on this Southern community. A lot of people were having their businesses and homes foreclosed; and they were having to move out of town.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne Sunday, after church\u2014at the end of church\u2014the pastor just got ticked off. He said: \u201cLook, man, you all know we've been in this drought. This drought has just been wreaking havoc on our community. This evening, I just feel compelled, by God, to call a prayer meeting. At seven o'clock, I want you to join me; join me here. We're not going to talk about prayer; we\u2019re not going to preach on prayer; we're going to <em>pray<\/em>, and we're going to ask the God of heaven to send rain.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, about 6:45 that evening, Deacon Jones and Deacon Smith are standing outside. It's a typical Southern evening\u2014about 95 degrees; 95 percent humidity, not a cloud in the sky\u2014just feeling like you\u2019ve got to take a shower all the time. They're out there\u2014Deacon Jones and Deacon Smith\u2014just kicking it; just shooting the breeze, when, when one of them, Deacon Jones, notices out of the corner of his eye, the oldest member of the church shuffling down the dry, dusty road; it\u2019s Mother Mary. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe notices Mother Mary because Mother Mary is dressed peculiarly. She's got on a rain jacket; she's got on galoshes; she's got on a rain hat. She's got an umbrella as wide open as an umbrella can be. When she gets to the base of those steps, Deacon Jones, being the fine Southern gentleman that he is\u2014he helps her up. He couldn't keep his peace; he says, \u201cMother Mary, it's 95 degrees; 95 percent humidity, and not a cloud in the sky; but here you are with this rain jacket, galoshes, rain hat, umbrella as wide open as an umbrella can be! Why are you dressed like this?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMother Mary looked at him as if he was crazy. She said: \u201cMy pastor said we were going talk to God and ask God to send rain. I figured if we was going to pray for rain, I\u2019d best come dressed for the rain!\u201d [Laughter and applause] They move inside the church house\u2014and the hundred or so who were there that evening\u2014they prayed like never before, expectantly, that God would send the rain. And wouldn\u2019t you know it? About halfway through the prayer meeting, they heard the pitter-patter splish-splash until it sounded like literal cats and dogs hitting the pavement. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey were slapping, high five, and rejoicing! God had heard their requests; and then, all of a sudden, <em>silence<\/em>. See, it was a small southern town; and everybody had walked to church; but the only one prepared to walk back home in the rain was Mother Mary. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhy would you ask God to do something\u2014to send the rain\u2014and you not come dressed for the rain?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Michelle:<\/strong> That's Bryan Loritts, telling a <em>powerful<\/em> story of Mother Mary, a lady who left behind an <em>incredible<\/em> legacy of prayer. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, I was at a funeral, a couple of years ago; and it was for my Uncle Richard. Uncle Richard was a simple man\u2014he faithfully worked behind the scenes in <em>so many<\/em> ways\u2014he faithfully sent birthday cards and Christmas cards, and in each card was a small note. The notes usually read like: \u201cI pray for you every night.

Stay tuned.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWelcome to <em>FamilyLife This Week<\/em>. I'm Michelle Hill. Have you ever thought about the stuff you're going to pass down to the next generation? What about the stuff that's been passed on to <em>you<\/em>?\u2014well, there's your eye color, and your hair color, and the shape of your nose, and your body type\u2014basically, your DNA. Oh, wait! We're not watching <em>CSI<\/em> or a forensics show right now; are we?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSo go back to the things that are true of you\/the things that you pass on to your children. Let's take a moment and think through the things that, maybe, someone has passed on to <em>you<\/em>. Your friends and family\u2014they are gathered around a conference room table in an attorney's office\u2014okay; we all know that the gatherings don't happen anymore to read the wills, but it's more dramatic; so just go with me on this!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou're biting your fingernails, because it would be nice to, you know, have some extra money to upgrade some things in your house. And you <em>know<\/em> that Aunt Thelma\u2014she thought really highly of you\u2014or maybe it's just that bureau in her entry way. Hey, I have claimed a nice bookcase in my parents\u2019 house already, just so you know. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tBut what if, at the reading of the will, she leaves you integrity, character, or an example of a faithful walk with God? Now, that's what we should call a rich, and full, and robust inheritance; it's a godly legacy, and it's where a life lives on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tWe just heard, a minute ago, from Louis Upkins. Louis\u2014he knows what legacy is all about\u2014it's how he's tried to live his life personally and, also, professionally. He's an entrepreneur, an author, and a speaker. He's worked on projects for Starbucks, UPS, and many other Fortune 500 companies.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIn an interview with Dennis Rainey and Bob Lepine in the FamilyLife<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Studios, he shared what was most important when the coffin sits in the front of the church and the people are all gathered around. Here's Louis.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Previous <em>FamilyLife Today<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Broadcast]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> I was just at a funeral of a highly-successful business guy. I, actually, was <em>grieved<\/em> as I sat in the funeral; because, in the front, they had a collage of all of his kind of significant moments\u2014the first McDonald's he opened; you know, the first BMW he drove; and all these trappings. As people came in\u2014you know, major politicians\/major business leaders\u2014everybody kind of walked in with this spirit of: \u201cLet me check it off the box,\u201d\u2014you know\u2014\u201cI\u2019ve got 15 minutes. Let me walk in and be seen and, then, leave.\u201d It was almost like \u201cBusiness as usual.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThere wasn't <em>one<\/em> person crying in this funeral except his 13-year-old son; he was the <em>only<\/em> person crying. What I felt in my spirit, as I watched that kid was: \u201cThis kid is crying because he didn't get what all these other people got. Everybody else got all of his time: they had him on every kind of committee, serving on every kind of board. Yes, he had all the accolades about being a great business leader, community leader, etc.; but yet, at the end of the day, it was just a check-off-the-box moment for these business leaders; but it was legacy and it was impact for that child; and that child is going to <em>mourn<\/em> because of the absence of his father.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> That's an incredible illustration. Yesterday morning, I read this passage from Psalm 112, and these two verses are my life verses: \u201cPraise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments. His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> There's more to a legacy than how much of an inheritance you leave your kids.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Absolutely; and that reminds me, Dennis, of\u2014I think God has allowed me to see one of the most powerful glimpses of my legacy in my son, Caleb, who was seven at the time\u2014I'd been out of town. I had been away on business; came home. Caleb comes downstairs, and he looks like he's seen a ghost.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cCaleb! What\u2019s wrong, son?\u201d He said, \u201cDad, God just spoke to me.\u201d He had never used these words before; and I said, \u201cWhat do you mean, son?\u201d My wife Charita\u2014she was preparing for bed\u2014she said: \u201cBoy! Go to bed. You\u2019re just trying to stay up, because your dad's been out of town!\u201d [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Playing the God-card!\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> \u201cHe\u2019s using God!\u201d [Laughter] She's like, \u201cYou\u2019re just trying to work your dad.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cNo, hold on; hold on for a second, honey. Hold up.\u201d I said: \u201cCaleb, come here for a second. Tell me what\u2014tell me what God said.\u201d He gets really close to me, Dennis; and he said, \u201cDad, He told me that they're going to be five homeless men that are on the sidewalk right now. He wants me to go feed them. They're going to be asleep, and He wants me to go feed them.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI said, \u201cOkay.\u201d I'm sitting up in my\/in my bed now, because this is a significant moment. I said, \u201cCaleb, you\u2019re going to learn a valuable lesson tonight.\u201d I said, \u201cWhen God speaks, you listen and you move.\u201d He said, \u201cDad\u201d\u2014he said\u2014\u201cImmediately!\u201d He took my hand and put it on his chest. It was just pounding [thumping hand on chest] like he had been running a race. I said, \u201cOkay, Caleb.\u201d I said, \u201cDo me a favor, son.\u201d I said, \u201cGo get dressed.\u201d Now, it's about 11:15; and my wife is looking at me like, \u201cYou idiot.\u201d I mean\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Yes.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> And so I said, \u201cGo get dressed, son.\u201d I sit up, and he goes and he gets dressed. He comes down; and I said, \u201cCaleb, what are we going to feed them?\u201d He said, \u201cWell, I'll go get my food.\u201d He goes into the kitchen\u2014gets all of his lunchroom food\u2014he didn't take anything else except the stuff that he takes to school for lunch: bottled water and all this different stuff. He comes back, and he has a big garbage bag; and he has it loaded up with food.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe says, \u201cIt\u2019s going to be five men, Dad.\u201d And I said, \u201cOkay.\u201d I said, \u201cOkay, son; we're on our way to see a valuable lesson.\u201d We get in the car. Now it's 11:30. We pull out the back of the neighborhood; it's 19 degrees that night; it\u2019s the coldest night in Nashville. We drive all the way to downtown Nashville\u2014that's 45 minutes from where we live\u2014and there's not a <em>soul<\/em> on the street.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI look in the back as soon as we get on the main road. I look in the back, and Caleb is sound asleep! I said: \u201cCaleb! What are you doing, man?! You going to go to sleep on me?\u201d He said, \u201cDad, I\u2019ll wake up when we get there.\u201d [Laughter] I'm driving all the way to downtown; and I'm thinking, \u201cOkay; I'll just go.\u201d I go all the way into downtown, and I see these three people on a park bench. I make a turn and pull over and start giving them food\u2014they\u2019re: \u201cThank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus!\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> Now, was Caleb awake at this point? \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> Yes; he\u2019s awake at this point.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Dennis:<\/strong> So he's helping you pass out the food?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Louis:<\/strong> No; he's just looking. I give them the food; and I'm thinking to myself, \u201cCaleb said there were five.\u201d I go all the way down to the riverfront and begin to go up and down every street\u2014First Avenue, Second Avenue, Third Avenue, Fourth Avenue\u2014then, I come around the corner\u2014Fifth Avenue. There are five men lying on the sidewalk, sound asleep. I said: \u201cCaleb! There they are!\u201d We go over to them; we give them the water; we talk to them; we pray with them. We get back in the car. Caleb said, \u201cDad, I told you!\u201d and he goes right back to sleep.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThe beauty of that, for me, was\u2014when you talk about legacy and you talk about yielding to the voice of God\u2014God couldn\u2019t have given me a greater gift than to see that in my son already, and him yielding to it, and responding to it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bob:<\/strong> Right.

These commandments I give to you today are to be on your hearts.

Today, we're talking about legacy: what we\u2019re actively doing <em>now<\/em> for the next generation. And there's this story that I heard, a while back; and I just\/I <em>have<\/em> to share it with you.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tIt's a story told by Crawford Loritts. Crawford is Senior Pastor of Fellowship Bible Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Crawford and his wife Karen speak at FamilyLife's <em>Weekend to Remember<\/em><sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. He's written numerous books, and he's been on <em>FamilyLife Today <\/em>numerous times. Crawford also hosts two nationally-syndicated radio programs.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tListen to these titles: <em>Living a Legacy<\/em> and <em>Legacy Moment<\/em>. What's the common word there?\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's Crawford, sharing about his great-grandfather, Peter, a man who had an eternal perspective.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Recorded Message]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Crawford:<\/strong> My great grandfather\u2014his name was Peter\u2014was a slave on a Louisiana plantation. Now, during the Civil War, apparently, Peter migrated with the family that owned him to Catawba County, North Carolina; that's where our roots are. Peter was an illiterate man: he couldn\u2019t read, and he couldn't write. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tPeter had two things, though, that has marked each succeeding generation. He loved Jesus with all of his heart. The story is told that he had memorized\u2014I know he was illiterate\u2014but he had memorized entire portions of Scripture. You know what he used to do? He used to make his children and grandchildren read to him\u2014over, and over, and over, and over again\u2014his favorite passages. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tSecondly, Peter had a deep, passionate commitment to his family. He had three children: my grandfather, Milton; my great uncle, Uncle HP, Milton's brother; and their sister, Aunt Georgia. My Grandfather Milton had seven boys and seven girls\/fourteen kids. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou say: \u201cWell, look! You mean Peter's your great grandfather?\u201d Yes; because, see, my dad is the youngest boy; and he\u2019s 80. It was his grandfather that was a slave. They were brought up in the heyday of the Klan in the rural South. My dad worked for over \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t30 years for A&amp;P Warehouse. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMy father never went to any family conference; he never read a book on the family. I don't even think, other than me telling him, he even knows who James Dobson is. [Laughter] But every Saturday was family day. I played Little League baseball there at the Boy's Club on Littleton Avenue; and my father used to finagle his schedule around, because he had to work nights. He used to work the shift\u20144 to 12\u2014but whenever I had games, he would finagle his schedule around so he could be with me. He would stand at the same place all the time, right along first baseline\/that chain-link fence, and he would just cheer me on.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI never had any need that my father didn't break his back to supply. I remember an argument that he and my mother had\u2014I was a little guy\u2014I was about eight years old. They needed the money for something, and it was Christmas time. If my dad had worked the holidays, he could've made triple time\u2014but I'll never forget these words\u2014\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\the said: \u201cSylvia, I'm not going to do that.\u201d My dad's not a lazy man: \u201cThat would be blood money,\u201d\u2014I'll never forget that line\u2014\u201cThese kids need me around here a little bit more.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tLast April, I was on my way to Africa; in fact, it was late that Sunday night. I get this phone call, near midnight, from my mother\u2014they live in Roanoke, Virginia; we live in Atlanta\u2014that's about an eight-hour drive away. My mother was on the phone, and she was crying. She said, \u201cYou gotta come up and see about your daddy.\u201d I said, \u201cWhat's wrong?\u201d \u201cWell, honey, I'm at the hospital; and they don't expect him to live.\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNeedless to say, I caught the first flight the next morning up there to Virginia\u2014I get there\u2014my sisters and myself. I'll never forget this scene\u2014we're standing around the bed\u2014I was up near his head; my mother was over here; my two sisters were down here. I'll never forget him looking at me; and he said, \u201cWell, boy,\u201d\u2014tears coming down his cheeks\u2014\u201cI did the very best I could.\u201d And I knew exactly what he meant by that. I leaned over and kissed him; I said, \u201cPop, you did a great job!\u201d [Sniffling[ Please forgive me, but it's a strange thing when you see the passing of an era. You realize that your dad's not going to be around much longer to sit on the front porch and tell you those old stories. Now, it's my turn to tell my kids and my grandkids those old stories. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Emotion in voice] You see, nobody will ever know who my father was; nobody will ever know who my Grandfather Milton was. We can't even find Peter's grave, although he's buried behind the church there across the street from the old homestead. But every time I stand before a group like this, and every time they mention my name or they say, \u201cDr. Loritts,\u201d or every time I sit in a board meeting, or every time somebody reads an article that I write, I stand on the shoulders of great men. I stand on the shoulders of people who quietly did the job. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tI want to tell you something\u2014if a former slave could do it, who couldn't read or couldn't write; if my dad could do it\u2014why can't we do it? Why <em>can't<\/em> we do it?! We can turn the tide in this country, but it's going to take some rolling up the sleeves. It\u2019s going to take some self-denial. It's going to take some reordering of priorities. It's going to take some tough decisions; but we can do it; by God's grace, we can do it.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Michelle:<\/strong> That's Crawford Loritts, talking about a legacy of, well, giants\/standing on the shoulders of giants. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's my question for you: \u201cHow many giants\u2019 shoulders are <em>you<\/em> standing on? Do you know?\u201d Maybe we should look at it the opposite way: \u201cAre <em>your<\/em> shoulders the <em>giant<\/em> shoulders that the next generation will be standing on?\u201d\u2014just something to think about.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHere's the cool thing for the Loritts family: \u201cThis legacy, that began with an illiterate man, who memorized Scripture, it's been going strong for over 150 years. It's continuing into the future. Crawford's son, Bryan, is a preacher, just like his dad. Bryan is the lead Pastor at Abundant Life Christian Fellowship in California. \u201cCan the man preach?!\u201d\u2014I heard him last summer, and I haven't been able to shake what he shared; and that's probably a good thing. I wanted you to hear a story that he shared about prayer.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Recorded Message]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Bryan:<\/strong> The story\u2019s told of an old Southern town that was experiencing, in Georgia, a horrific drought. It was an agricultural community. As the days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, this drought was wreaking havoc on this Southern community. A lot of people were having their businesses and homes foreclosed; and they were having to move out of town.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tOne Sunday, after church\u2014at the end of church\u2014the pastor just got ticked off. He said: \u201cLook, man, you all know we've been in this drought. This drought has just been wreaking havoc on our community. This evening, I just feel compelled, by God, to call a prayer meeting. At seven o'clock, I want you to join me; join me here. We're not going to talk about prayer; we\u2019re not going to preach on prayer; we're going to <em>pray<\/em>, and we're going to ask the God of heaven to send rain.\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tNow, about 6:45 that evening, Deacon Jones and Deacon Smith are standing outside. It's a typical Southern evening\u2014about 95 degrees; 95 percent humidity, not a cloud in the sky\u2014just feeling like you\u2019ve got to take a shower all the time. They're out there\u2014Deacon Jones and Deacon Smith\u2014just kicking it; just shooting the breeze, when, when one of them, Deacon Jones, notices out of the corner of his eye, the oldest member of the church shuffling down the dry, dusty road; it\u2019s Mother Mary. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tHe notices Mother Mary because Mother Mary is dressed peculiarly. She's got on a rain jacket; she's got on galoshes; she's got on a rain hat. She's got an umbrella as wide open as an umbrella can be. When she gets to the base of those steps, Deacon Jones, being the fine Southern gentleman that he is\u2014he helps her up. He couldn't keep his peace; he says, \u201cMother Mary, it's 95 degrees; 95 percent humidity, and not a cloud in the sky; but here you are with this rain jacket, galoshes, rain hat, umbrella as wide open as an umbrella can be! Why are you dressed like this?\u201d \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tMother Mary looked at him as if he was crazy. She said: \u201cMy pastor said we were going talk to God and ask God to send rain. I figured if we was going to pray for rain, I\u2019d best come dressed for the rain!\u201d [Laughter and applause] They move inside the church house\u2014and the hundred or so who were there that evening\u2014they prayed like never before, expectantly, that God would send the rain. And wouldn\u2019t you know it? About halfway through the prayer meeting, they heard the pitter-patter splish-splash until it sounded like literal cats and dogs hitting the pavement. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tThey were slapping, high five, and rejoicing! God had heard their requests; and then, all of a sudden, <em>silence<\/em>. See, it was a small southern town; and everybody had walked to church; but the only one prepared to walk back home in the rain was Mother Mary. [Laughter]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t\u201cWhy would you ask God to do something\u2014to send the rain\u2014and you not come dressed for the rain?\u201d\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t[Studio]\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\t<strong>Michelle:<\/strong> That's Bryan Loritts, telling a <em>powerful<\/em> story of Mother Mary, a lady who left behind an <em>incredible<\/em> legacy of prayer. \n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<p>\n\t\t\t\tYou know, I was at a funeral, a couple of years ago; and it was for my Uncle Richard. Uncle Richard was a simple man\u2014he faithfully worked behind the scenes in <em>so many<\/em> ways\u2014he faithfully sent birthday cards and Christmas cards, and in each card was a small note. The notes usually read like: \u201cI pray for you every night. Love, Uncle Richard.\u201d He <em>never<\/em> missed a birthday or Christmas, and I know he meant what he said; he prayed for me every night.
