Clay in the Hands

I have already mentioned that I had the opportunity to speak to the college students at On Campus last week.  It was a wonderful time and I always love the chance to pour my life into theirs.  One of the things I challenged them to do was to think about their life and the difference they could make in the world – an impact for Christ.

I gave them an assignment and I thought I would give it to you today.

I am asking you to take some time today and give this some thought.  Spend a few minutes thinking about what you would like to see in your obituary.  When someone stands up at your funeral someday, what would you want them to say?

Make a list, a few bullet points, of qualities and accomplishments you would like to read in the paper after your death.

Some of mine include:

• amazing husband and father
• passionate Jesus follower
• visionary
• honest
• compassionate

You get the point.  So make your list.

Now look at the list.

Go live that list today.
