GLENDA
Good Morning: I read a poem by a man named Michael Josephson entitled “What Will Matter?” It's a beautiful poem about your life. It's too long to recite to you, but the basic idea is: At the end of your life, what will matter? Is it the “things” you have accumulated during your life? Is it wealth, fame, grudges, resentments, jealousies, ambitions, plans...you get the idea.
None of these will matter, what will matter is the way you have lived your life; it is the way people will remember you and miss you; it is your integrity, your compassion, your courage, or your sacrifices. It is not what you bought, but what you built. It is not what you got, but what you gave. It is not what you learned, but what you taught.
Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It is a choice. Jesus walked this earth and taught us how to live a life that matters. If we all made that choice, what a wonderful world this would be. Have a wonderful day today living a life that matters.
