The whole death thing....
Recent events got me thinking about death and such.
One thing that came to mind was how many people would care if i were to die? Hundreds? Thousands? Why would they remember us? For our drumming? For our cheery good nature? Our Hair? I want to be remembered because God remembered me. I was in his plan in a way that effected people. And if I'm remembered for that, then I wouldn't care hardly at all about the number of people that showed up.
Another thing is that anyone could go at anytime. We don't know when it's the right time to die, only God knows (and maybe our assassin), and I guess it's supposed to be a suprise to us. There will be somethings that we will not get to finish, because of death. When we die we will have fufilled God's plan for us here on earth. If thats what really matters, then maybe thats what we should hang on to it in life. Instead of fearing the loss of tomarrow, find consul in a finished work.
When My aunt Robin died, it was extremely hard to get over... She was 22 years old, and very loved. When her family's preist spoke at her funeral he said that "people should look on the good works of someone who is dead, for every good thing is an act of God." I think that he ment what he said, that when someone dies and you see all that that person has done in life, you see how great an effect God can have with just one little thing. Whenever I eat applesauce I am filled with found memories of my dear aunt(long story), and even that has proven useful. God uses people in a way that I don't intend to comprehend or pretend to understand.
