It is interesting that the stories of most of the"great" names of history have filtered down into our school books, oral traditions, community events (and even sermons), but none of us ever got to meet these people in person. However, Madiba has lived in OUR time, and even if we have never met him in person, we can't deny his Legacy.
As you know by now, I am huge fan of quotes and so to remember Madiba's 100th birthday I want to share a few of his lesser known words:
"I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances."
"Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden, but never extinguished."
"I am not a saint, unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps trying."
"There can be no greater gift than giving ones time and energy to help others without expecting anything in return."
May God bless you as you seek to follow JESUS and leave your own Legacy for Jesus sake.
Living in Grace
