How You Want to Be Remembered

All of us have certain character qualities by which we would like be remembered. Here are some of the ways our family members would like to be remembered:

Mark—I would like to be remembered as a Courageous man of Impact! I hope to be known as a faithful leader in my home, church, work, and community, and one who has a strong passion to follow the will of God.

Betsy—I would like to be remembered as a daughter of God who was faithful to His calling in her life. For me, this means that I faithfully and joyfully fulfilled my role as a helpmeet to my husband; a mother, teacher, and nurturer to our children; and a friend and encourager to anyone who needed it. Most of all, I want to be remembered as someone who loved Jesus with all her heart, and who lived out His Word in every area of her life.

Bianca—I want to be remembered as a young lady who loved the Lord with all her heart and walked in daily obedience to His word. As far as specific character qualities, I want to be remembered as patient, meek, joyful, a true friend to others, content, happy, and a servant.

Ben—I want to be remembered as trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, and reverent, and a lover of God. (As a note, most of these are in the Boy Scout Law. J)

Rubia—I want to remembered as a young woman who feared God, was a servant to others, was loving, and compassionate.

Roma—I want people to remember me as loving God with all my heart. I also want to be remembered as a servant, having respect for others, being compassionate, honoring my parents, and having some of the qualities of the Proverbs 31 woman.

Josiah—I want people to remember that I love Jesus and I am a Christian. I also want to be remembered as respectful, kind, a hard worker, and a godly young man who obeys God’s word.
