Man of God

After attending an amazing celebration of life for a friend's Grandfather on Sunday, I felt moved. As I didn't know the late Reverend when I walked in the door, I felt like I was apart of him after leaving.
Everyone continued to refer to him as a Man of God. We celebrated his legacy, his life, and what he left behind for his family, a chance to follow Jesus.
It was the most beautiful, heart wrenching funeral I have ever been to. Watching the intimate and sad moment that his wife of 59 years had to say her final goodbyes. The way she clutched her bible and sobbed. She knew where he was going, but in that moment it doesn't make it easier.
Hearing that at his bedside right before death, his grandson accepted Jesus Christ for the first time. Learning of his life, Reverend, Navy, Missionary in Mexico for 10 years, Doctor of Theology, Pastor, Chaplain, Father, Grandfather, Faithful Husband, and Man of God.
I can't help but think, how will I be remembered? What legacy will I leave, will I be thought of as a Woman of God. It makes you stop and think of everything you are doing, is it significant? Are you living your life fully, are you living it to the Glory of God. That is the life I want to live. The legacy I want to leave behind, and I want to be referred to as a Woman of God. But what does that look like?
All I know is that you can only live in today, but make sure that everything you do, you do it to the fullest.
I don't have the answer to this question, I'm just pondering it, but writing it down always help me to think it through, it is in writing, now I can truly live up to it.
So ask yourself that question, how will you be remembered, its not about what they say at your funeral, its about the life you lived, the impact you left, and your legacy to follow.
