"When the time comes for you to find out 'who you are', do it on purpose. To discover that you are really someone you wouldn't like to be can be alarming. To find that you are someone who is of selfish disposition gives you little satisfaction and can be very disarming. To find out that you are 'tolerated' and 'put up with' because........... is guaranteed to deflate your ego (If you still have an ego left to deflate); and to hear someone speak disparagingly about you when they didn't know that you were there to overhear can make you feel inadequate. But imagine if people thought you had died when you hadn't and you attended your own funeral 'incognito' and heard how wonderful a person everyone had thought you to be and, to have seen their genuine tears of grief as the coffin was lowered into the ground! Imagine! Then how would you feel? How then might you feel to learn that you were and are 'a much loved person?' Today's thought is to simply tell you now, while you are alive, to know and appreciate that 'YOU ARE MUCH LOVED' and that when you no longer occupy this side of the green sod, 'YOU SHALL BE GREATLY MISSED AND MUCH MOURNED.' So please bear this thought in mind as you enjoy this day."
