Have you ever wondered what people will say about you at
your funeral? Obviously, most funeral eulogies are complimentary and tell of good
things, sweet memories and such that greeting cards are made of. But if
everyone spoke the TRUTH about you, what would they say?
Are you living your life to be a blessing, to make an impact
for good and not evil or bad, to leave an honorable legacy for those you love?
If not, you should. If only one person can say My life is better because of Leola (or John, Mary, Henry, Sharon,
etc), then you have done well.
What must it be like to live a life with no regrets? I’ve
heard that said – I want to live and die with no regrets – I’ve even said that….on
many occasions. The older I get, the more I realize that this is an impossible
notion. The average person will always have regrets – the words spoken or
unspoken, that broken relationship, the unfulfilled dream, and the list could
go on and on.
The older I get, the more the thought of dying invades my
thoughts. Sometimes it is a niggling, persistent bother, sometimes it’s like a
foreboding of impending disaster, or sometimes it’s like a pleasant journey I
will embark on.
As a Christian, I have confidence that heaven is my destiny,
and that thought fills me with wonder and joy. I’m just not ready to make that
journey.
