11 Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and
strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful
desires, which war against your soul. 12 Live
such good lives among the pagans that, though
they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your
good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits
us. I Peter 211-12

What impression will you leave after you are gone?

• We need to remember that we are just passing
  through this life.
• This is not our home only a temporary residence.
• Nothing we build in this life will last.

What impression will you leave after you are
gone? (cont.)

• Therefore, we need to focus on those things of
  eternal importance
• Being an example of love for those who are not
  Christians (pagans)
• So that they might glorify God.

Journey of Prayer

• Impressions

6
In front of you is some sand. You remove your
socks and shoes. Tread in the sand to leave your
footprints. Step back and look at them. Where you
have walked has left an impression.
7
What will be left of us when weve left? When
were gone under down into darkness, the earth,
and memory? When our dust and ashes have shaken
themselves down and reverted to their original
state, will their miraculous interlude have
leaned on historys rudder?
8
What will be left of us when weve left? What
traces will we leave? Will the evidence be
compelling? What will the surviving witnesses
say? How will they know we were here? Will the
future be better because of what we did with our
present?
9
How many breaths make a life? How long does it
take to make a difference? (When can I
start?) What will history say of us when were
history too? What will be left of us when weve
left?

If there is something you would like to say to
God as a result of your journey through the
labyrinth, you can write it in the Visitors Book
as you exit.
