00:00:00 --> 00:00:01 An old TV show,

00:00:02 --> 00:00:03 a new loss,

00:00:04 --> 00:00:05 wise words,

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07 not mine,

00:00:07 --> 00:00:12 and a bit of MoMo math teamed up to bring you this episode.

00:00:13 --> 00:00:13 Tune in.

00:00:17 --> 00:00:17 Hello,

00:00:17 --> 00:00:19 and welcome to Momo 634,

00:00:20 --> 00:00:25 the daily podcast chock full of faith filled inspiration and motivation.

00:00:25 --> 00:00:28 Please like, share and subscribe.

00:00:29 --> 00:00:31 MOMO 634, motivational moments just for today.

00:00:48 --> 00:00:51 As I've often mentioned here, I'm a child of the 60s and 70s.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:57 I remember my folks watching a game show called What's My Line,

00:00:57 --> 00:01:00 where the panelists tried to guess what the contestant was known for.

00:01:02 --> 00:01:03 What are you known for?

00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 What will you be known for when you're gone?

00:01:08 --> 00:01:11 Revelation 14.13 says our deeds follow us.

00:01:12 --> 00:01:14 In other words, they remain as our legacy.

00:01:16 --> 00:01:20 I discuss this line of thinking a bit more in the episode entitled Legacy.

00:01:22 --> 00:01:23 In thinking about this,

00:01:24 --> 00:01:27 I was reminded of the quote attributed to Edward Everett Hale,

00:01:28 --> 00:01:28 which says,

00:01:29 --> 00:01:30 I am only one,

00:01:31 --> 00:01:32 but I am one.

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36 I cannot do everything, but I can do something.

00:01:37 --> 00:01:39 And because I cannot do everything,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:43 I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

00:01:45 --> 00:01:46 Theodor Geisel,

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47 also known as Dr.

00:01:47 --> 00:01:47 Seuss,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:48 said,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:51 To the world you may be one person,

00:01:51 --> 00:01:54 but to one person you may be the world.

00:01:55 --> 00:01:58 And in trying to source the quote from Hale,

00:01:58 --> 00:02:01 I found a number from Anne Frank on the topic of goodness.

00:02:02 --> 00:02:04 kindness, and one's potential.

00:02:05 --> 00:02:08 Jesus tells us to be salt and light.

00:02:09 --> 00:02:14 The loss I alluded to in the intro was the passing yesterday of a good friend

00:02:14 --> 00:02:15 from high school.

00:02:16 --> 00:02:21 Back then, he was just a sweet, smart, hard-working guy.

00:02:22 --> 00:02:22 Eventually,

00:02:23 --> 00:02:29 he would open a world-famous restaurant and be lauded for his visionary

00:02:29 --> 00:02:30 culinary art.

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32 Legacy

00:02:33 --> 00:02:36 The momo math I mentioned is not like toilet paper math,

00:02:37 --> 00:02:38 where six rolls are equal to 124,

00:02:40 --> 00:02:42 but rather the power of one.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:45 Not like an exponent,

00:02:45 --> 00:02:47 but as in the quotes related here,

00:02:48 --> 00:02:53 the power one person has to transform the world.

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56 In giving us the parable of the talents,

00:02:57 --> 00:02:59 we are told God bestows gifts upon us.

00:03:00 --> 00:03:03 I'm not talking about the miraculous gifts of the first century church

00:03:04 --> 00:03:04 beforethe

00:03:04 --> 00:03:05 Bible was completed.

00:03:07 --> 00:03:12 I mean each one of us possesses at least one ability to use for him.

00:03:13 --> 00:03:14 Hospitality,

00:03:15 --> 00:03:15 friendliness,

00:03:16 --> 00:03:17 teaching,

00:03:17 --> 00:03:21 as he discusses when he says the church is like the human body working

00:03:22 --> 00:03:23 together in harmony.

00:03:25 --> 00:03:26 Our meme for today asks,

00:03:27 --> 00:03:32 What one thing can you do today with the talents you are blessed with?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:38 Then repeat that question every day for the rest of your life.

00:03:40 --> 00:03:44 I'm linking the episode on Legacy below this post at momo634.com,

00:03:46 --> 00:03:49 as well as two others that explore this theme.

00:03:50 --> 00:03:52 What's your one thing?
