Remembering

I am just home from the funeral service and luncheon of a fabulous woman who was dear to my heart. I remember her as a story teller, devoted grandma, dedicated mother and strong Christian. It got me to pondering. How will people remember me?

Think a moment before reading on and contemplate on that.

My husband's immediate response was a woman who struggled with job and pain. I hope that isn't what most people think. I would hate to have "struggle" my main accomplishment during my time on this earth.

I used to have teacher right up towards the front, and I believe that has changed. A close friend just called me "grandma - and that sums is up". I think that would be good.

What's a grandma? Loving, spoiling, listening
I hope somewhere is serving since I am the director of Serving Ministry and those activities are strongly ingrained.

What about other terms?
Listener
Determined
Humorous
Writer
Teacher
Mother
Friend
Wife

How will people remember you?
Ponder that!
