Today we celebrated Bethany's grandmother's 70th birthday. Posted all over the fellowship hall in the church, in photo albums, and on computer screens were pictures taken over the years of Janet, the grandmother. The pictures represented occasions and momentous events that were worth remembering. As I stood over a table flipping through the pages of a photo album I got thinking about my life, things that have happened, things that may happen, and I wondered one thought. If I were to die today, would there be anything left undone, anything that my family left behind would wish that I would have done, anything left behind that my family would make proud of me? I truly hope that when I am gone, if I make it til I actually die, I honestly believe the rapture is right around the corner, that I will have done what all I've intended on doing. Most of all when I check out of this world I want to make sure that I still have my faith intact, so that when I am face to face with God he welcomes me with open arms to heaven. Ok ok ok, I'm not implying that by the fact that we celebrated a 70th birthday that we're close to checking out, but it does make one sit back and examine the progress that we've made in life. In the 25 years I've been alive I definitely have a ton of memories, some good and some bad, but to this point no regrets. I've made mistakes here and there, some worse than others, but fortunately I feel as though I am the sum of my experiences so I can take all the steps I've made and ensure that they'll lead me in the right direction, to 45 more years of memories til they celebrate my 70th birthday party.
