When I die, what will people say at my eulogy? Will they say I was pretty, or that I loved others unconditionally. Will they say I was fun to be with, or that I gave of myself unselfishly? Will you hear that I knew how to get a bargain and was a good housekeeper or a good employee? Or will it be said that my left hand never knew what the right was giving, that I breathed encouragement and grace on others, that I was merciful to those even when they didn’t deserve it? If I wrote my eulogy today, would it look like I want to be remembered, or would the reality of how I am living my life be in conflict or contradictory to how I would want my mark to be remembered when I am gone?
It is not too late to start anew – to write my eulogy and live it now and tomorrow for I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I can write tomorrow differently.
