Several years ago when I was so involved in many groups clubs organizations it seemed important to want to list them all so if I died they would all get honorable mention...you know like Pres. of Mothers of Twins club mem chair VP and picnic committee chair and there was PTO fundraiser chair VP and then Pres. ( or maybe not VP - I think I went straight to Pres...lol) there was Girl Scouts troop leader of 1480 and troop9 and Service unit chair of father daughter dance and cookie chair and PTL pres (at Emmaus Lutheran) head lice checker and other things...lol
Church committees PPRC Chair... and woman's groups did it all....ran it all... I never just belonged I had to run it. Big Sister for years thru Big Bro/ Big sis. org Involved with the EMMAUS org ( not school ) blablaba my coming met my going most of the time ---where is the eternal value in any of that busy work??
lol then as my life has evolved and my priorities have changed like
I met Jesus head on and my life changed.... my idea of what should go in an obit has changed...what I have done pish it's nothing who cares....And for a couple of years now I have told Scott and the kids that when I die list the family and then my cause of death ---yup I want them to be sure and put in my obit and even on my headstone this is what I died of and then add in parenthesis (Because she knew you would want to know!)
Of course I still like this idea...I was reading obits which I have always done and thought oh my gosh who writes these things they sound so lame ! So then I have been thinking well..hurumpf I'll have Jessica write mine she is a good writer no lame stupidly written obit for me!! Ok that's silly I know but read a few they are awful!!
And here recently as my heart is growing with Him more and more it came to me seriously what is it I want to be known for in my life is it my club work or my God work..well duh the only thing that is of any importance in my life's doings is that I LOVED JESUS with all my heart ...yup that's it...nothing else matters... not who birthed me nor whom I have birthed... not anything I have ran or belonged to nope the only thing that is of any importance is that I loved Jesus.
Of course with those thoughts in my head I was thinking of Pastor Dan and Pastor Carol preaching at my funeral and what I got a picture of is gathering all of my friends and family in a huge room...yeah I got a lot of both and then baring the door having some large men in black suites and sunglasses stand guard at the door maybe Scott Chandler in full police riot gear and tazer...hahaha and then letting Pastor Dan and Pastor Carol preach the word preach the message of LIFE to those who truly need to hear it and not the nicety nice junk nope the TRUE word of God that there is only ONE way to heaven that is thru Jesus Christ and you wanna life a sin filled life doing what you want living a homosexual life style or belonging to groups that declare a Master different then Jesus or addicted ( having idols where does your heart lay?) or in adultery or trying to wrap all your friends beliefs in a nice little mix of religions so we can all just get along-- or just plain lukewarm Christianity -- remember this HE will spew you from His mouth .( back to the Jesus vomit..)
So yeah I still want them to add why I am dead.. you know hit by a bus or cancer or old age...but the rest? Really all that is important is that they know I loved Jesus with all my heart all my soul and all my mind. And they need to love Jesus too.
