I'm praying for the people in that building, those two buildings there. There were apartments I don't know how many people live in those. How many would you guess? Five, six story. A thousand?

I want you to know that when you do the right thing, you're gonna influence somebody. You're gonna leave a legacy for somebody when you do even when you're driving down the road and someone cuts in front of you and you honk and you you you're leaving an influence. Just don't put Jesus loves you on the back of your car. We are we are human and we need each other to remind us that we're leaving a legacy. Our children watch us. Our grandchildren watch us. So today, the person that influenced you, you are influencing people. So I want us to remember that today. I wanna remind myself of that. [00:57:53] (46 seconds)  #LeaveALegacy
