When All is Said and Done

Funerals have a way of provoking a person to view life differently. Attending two funerals in two days reminded me of a song by Geoff Moore.

At each funeral was an expression of the impact the person made in the lives of friends and families. Tears flowed as their expressions of love and thankfulness for the impact the person had made in their life.

What would people say about your life? A portion of Geoff Moore's song titled, "When All is Said and Done":
When the music fades into the past,
when the days of life are through,
what will be remembered of where I've come?
When all is said and done?

Will they say I loved my family?

That I was a faithful friend?
That I lived to tell of God's own son?
When all is said and done.

This song prompts me to live brighter.

How can you and I live more brightly each week?
1. Meaningful Conversations. Moving beyond sport scores, the weather and how well the fish are biting. Conversation and questions about the other person's interesting event of the day or what dreams and desires they have can bring the conversation to a meaningful depth.
2. Purposeful Contacts. Sharing some coffee time with long time friends and inviting new friends for conversation over a cup of coffee or lunch will bring a fullness to your life each week.

Let me know your ideas for loving your family, being a faithful friend, of living to tell of God's own Son by commenting on this blog.
