Rememberances – Something You Can Control

I am a lover of control!  I like to control the finances, the household and many other aspects of my life.  That need to control causes me many frustrations.  We all know that there are things that you can’t control (although we will try!) – one of those is your time to die.  OK – hang in with me this is going to get more uplifting.  When you pass, there will probably be a funeral, memorial or other rememberance.  Now is the time to control what is said about you there!

I attended a memorial of a 49 year old woman that had died of cancer.  The service was sad but very uplifting. This woman died too young but had obviously left a ray of sunshine as she left this world.  In that sunshine I found a message.

This woman had friends and family talk about her smile – that lit up not only her face but the entire room, her faith – how she prayed for healing but didn’t shake her fist at God for having this devastating disease, and her love – how she gave out love to everyone she met.  I left telling my husband that if I can have those things said about me – then I will die one happy woman!

So, take control of the things that are important – really important! Love thy neighbor, Give with your Heart and have Faith!
