3 Gifts You Leave When You Die: Love, Memories and a Compass



Two things in life are certain:  death and taxes.  And when death is knocking, there are three gifts you leave for the living -- love, memories and a compass.
  1. Love:  In 1 Corinthians 13:7, Paul writes love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  The people you love will be forever changed because of the love you give.
  2. Memories:  How will people remember you?  Did you give your time generously?  Will the memories others have of you inspire them to dream big?  I still remember the stories my grandparents shared with me when I was a young boy.  Memories of them guide me when I'm pondering a challenging question.
  3. A compass:  There are times in my life when I feel like I'm navigating in the dark.  Although my tracks may sometimes resemble a lost rabbit thumping around in the snow,  my compass always points to Jesus.  I pray that all my actions serve as a compass pointing to the cornerstone upon which my life is built, Jesus.  Where will others end up when they follow your compass once you are out of this world?
Avoid keeping these three gifts wrapped up and hidden.  Open them up and share them.  They are best used while your heart is still beating and they will remain in this world long after you are gone.   Are you ready to unwrap your gifts and give them away today?

engaging, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy
