Remembrance

This was the second weekend in a row, sadly, that I've had to attend a funeral for a family friend.  I have known both of these people since I was a child.   When faced with the reality of death, it is always a reminder to live our lives with our eyes on the hope of glory.  This world is temporal, and we have God's work to do while we are here on earth.

Yesterday, was also Communion Sunday, in Remembrance of what He did on the cross for us.   I do hope that when I am gone, the memories of my life will point to my Savior.   I hope to be remembered for serving Him, for having compassion on others, for loving His Word, and for living my life faithfully for HIM.

I thought about what I might want my memorial service to include; but, the service really should be more for those left behind, so they should be able to choose what would bring them the most comfort and provide the best closure to the book of my life.   I just hope that they will see my love for God and my love for them and others.
