I wasn't going to write much this evening but I checked my facebook page right before I started and I saw something beautiful. A woman I used to go to school with recently lost her mother to cancer and she posted a picture of her memorial stone with the explanation that her mother didn't want her final resting place to be about her, but rather, Him. The stone read: She heard the call "come follow", that was all. Earth's joys grew dim, her soul went after Him. She rose and followed, that was all. Will you not follow if you hear the call? For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
That is such a powerful, selfless witness that will live on as long as that stone will last. Who knows how many people that it could impact? Like I said, it's beautiful.
