I just read Walt Whitman's Eulogy, and it was beautifully written. It was given by one his grandchildren who plainly displayed the love he has for his Grandpa. Writing a Eulogy obviously gives you a chance to take time and reflect on someone’s life, and at that moment you can look back and evaluate if that person lived a meaningful life. We all want to believe that our eulogy will be as beautiful as this one. But now it makes me wonder, what would mine look like. When the good Lord calls me home, and someone writes my eulogy, will mine reflect a meaningful life? So many times we get caught up in life styles that make us think we are leading a meaningful life because we are happy at the moment. But what is it that is making us happy? Money? Worldly pleasure? What is a meaningful life? Feel free to comment and share.
A perfect example of a meaningful life is my mother. She is truly a servant, and is always there for whoever needs her. I can think of just little stuff that she did for, like bringing my gym clothes to school because I forgot them or buying me new shoes when my dad told her not to ha-ha. To me, someone with a servant’s heart is leading a meaningful life. Putting someone else before you, whether it is a stranger or your best friend, really means a lot. This is what God calls us to do, because that’s what Jesus did a little over two thousand years ago. He put his LIFE down so that we could be set free. Now I know that I'm not in the mind set all the time, because I'm human. But if we strive to be a servant after God's own heart, I feel like we're living a Christ filled meaningful life!
