What will He say about me..

I had a thought one day of what I want my tombstone to say. Yes, thats a morbid thought, I know, but what can I say, I was just glad I wasn't thinking about dirty clothes, dishes, diapers, floors, ect. Anyway.  I was thinking of all the tombstones that I have seen, and have read, and some were meaningful, others were short-n-sweet, so I wanted to plan what mine would say. I didn't want to leave it up to my kids or husband, not because of the grief they would be going through, but I can only imagine what they would say about me. Anyhow, this is how I would like my stone to read, "Loving wife, mom, daughter, sister, friend" but the more I thought about this I came to the conclusion, it isn't going to matter how my tombstone reads, I need to be concerned about what my fanily and friends say about me now. I need to know now that I make my husband proud that he married me, that I'm true to him, and treat him with the upmost respect and honor that he deserves. I want to know that my kids respect me, and even though I am not a perfect mom, I love them, and I try my best to be a good mom to them. I want to know that my parents are also proud of me, and the woman I am today, even if I had a rough start at doing things God's way. I also have a brother, and I mant to know that he is glad we share, or shared, the same last name. As for my friends I would like them to say that, I am always there for them if not in person, in prayer, that I'm loyal, and encouraging. I would love think that those things are being thought about me, and not for the glory that I would get, but for the glory God would get, becaue for those things to be said about me I have to be, first and foremost, a daughter that my Heavenly Father, my sweet precious Jesus Christ, can be proud of.
