So what if I got booed once (well, maybe twice) — listen to how my son joked about it and think about how we’ll be remembered.
Game Plan:
“He took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19, NLT
“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins” I Peter 4:8, NIV
Time Out:
What will your kids remember about you? Funny and embarrassing stories? Will it be hugs, kisses and playing with them? It may be your sacrifices to put your marriage and family ahead of yourself or career.
Jesus lived and sacrificed Himself in a way that is remembered. He valued meals together, special celebrations and surprising servant hood (washing dirty feet). He is the only one whose love can literally cover over a multitude of our sins. But it’s a great encouragement to know that the way we love can erase dumb or damaging deeds in life, whether others’ or our own.
What will your kids remember about you? Funny and embarrassing stories? Will it be hugs, kisses and playing with them? It may be your sacrifices to put your marriage and family ahead of yourself or career.
Go Deep:
Give some thought to the question, “How do I want to be remembered?”
I want the answer to be, “He loved us.”
What’s your answer…and what’s the next step to shaping those memories.
