Yesterday I attended a funeral for a great man. A man who lived RICH his entire life. The church was packed and the words shared about him spoke volumes about how he gave. It made me think of my legacy and the words I would like spoken at my celebration of life service. It also reminded me something I read years ago in Stephen Covey Seven Habits for Highly Effective People book. Covey asked readers to imagine you were attending your own funneral. There four people spoke about you: someone from you family, a close personal friend, a co-worker and someone from you place of worship or a community group for which you belonged. What would you want each to say? It was a powerful illustration about the importance of living a life that would be worthy of those comments. What do you think?
