How Would You Like To Be Remembered?

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED?

About a hundred years ago, a man looked at the morning newspaper and to his surprise and horror, read his name in the obituary column. The news papers had reported the death of the wrong person by mistake. His first response was shock. Am I here or there? When he regained his composure, his second thought was to find out what people had said about him. The obituary read, "Dynamite King Dies." And also "He was the merchant of death." This man was the inventor of dynamite and when he read the words "merchant of death," he asked himself a question, "Is this how I am going to be remembered?" He got in touch with his feelings and decided that this was not the way he wanted to be remembered. From that day on, he started working toward peace. His name was Alfred Nobel and he is remembered today by the great Nobel Prize.

 

Just as Alfred Nobel got in touch with his feelings and redefined his values, we should step back and do the same.

 

What is your legacy?

How would you like to be remembered?

Will you be spoken well of?

Will you be remembered with love and respect?

Will you be missed?

 

(Prov. 7:1, 2)

It only matters to me if I'm am remembered by Jehovah as a beloved servant.  If he remembers me, I know I was missed and if I'm resurrected then I know that someone loved and respected me (except Musky, of course) - Jehovah and his Son.  Was I well spoken of? Well as long as no one checks this forum - then yes! LOL!

I want Jehovah to remember me more but also would like my life to have been a witness to men.

I would like to ve known as the faithful Sister who expanded herself in the ministry and loved her brothers. Cause I do...love you i.e

Just to be remembered by Jehovah so he takes the time to write me down on 'THE LIST'.   I just want Him to have some good things to write down about me.

You can see how quick the spirit of this world has changed. Don't you notice young ones don't care about image or take pride in legacy like people did just 30-40 years ago. The attitude is just I'll take as much as I can and I don't care about a legacy
