ON BEING REMEMBERED

My Post on Inspire Advanced Breast Cancer website
February 24, 2010
I've been visiting this site regularly, reading and sometimes replying to various posts.
Being a soon-to-be-published author, I have wanted to write something, and have not been able to think of anything, which for me is very unusual.
Until now.
I'm wondering for what things in life I will be remembered.
Amongst former co-workers, I will be remembered for my strong work ethic, straight posture, all-or-nothing personality, sense of humor, and the playing of a number of practical jokes.
With regard to friends, I will likely be remembered for my sense of humor, creative imagination and "courage" while fighting cancer. My friend "Robin" (who is also my Pastor's wife) may remember how, during my battle with cancer, my faith and trust in God increased, rather than decreased. She will remember my sense of humor also, for she often laughs and comments on it. Robin will, no doubt, think back to the day I received my cancer diagnosis, and she was with me.
And I have a feeling that I may be allowed to "listen in" when the beautiful "Celebration of Life" takes place at my church, here on this verdant earth.
And I will be both awed and humbled at how deeply loved I really am.
And this wonder shall be part of my experience in Heaven with God my Father, for all eternity, time without beginning or end.
