Three Phone Calls
Today we turn our gaze toward the future. One day you and I will leave this earth. When we do, most likely, the letter of our lives will be fully written and handed to our family and friends to live with for the rest of their lives. We aren't sending a letter back to ourselves but forward to our family. The question is, what will be written there? Will we seed hope in them? Will they draw joy from the choices in our lives, eternal and heavenly joy? Or will we leave them with doubt and fear?
We can't go back into our past to change what has happened, we can only do what is right now. The same is true for what will come in our future and how our legacy will live on after us. We will have zero control then. But we can do the right thing today, and tomorrow, and increasingly to the end.
I want to share three phone calls I have received in my life. Three times I had to store away my thoughts of someone who had passed. I still hold within me those same feelings. But what did they leave me with? What was sealed forever in the hearts of the people they knew and loved? The results represent options for you. I hope you will listen carefully and decide what kind of phone call you want your loved ones to receive when you are one.
- May 19th 1992 - The passing of my grandmother
- November 15th 1996 - The passing my best friend's mom

- What will your passing represent in terms of: outside of Christ, once in Christ, or NOW in Christ?
