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!
First off, I don't really like the idea of you killing yourself off prematurely.
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was as a momma. Not only to be and Einstein, but you tend to take care of my friends, your friends and your students as a momma would. Not a mother. You're not all stuffy like.
I wouldn't say struggle. That's a yucky word to me. If anything, you're a juggler. You take on the world. But as the balls don't know they're one of many, most of your commitments don't feel like they're a burden. You manage to keep it all in the air.
