Day 117 - Funerals

I have been to 2 funerals in the last 48 hours.  One in Florida, one in Texas.  I'm actually too tired to write, but it has been a while and I wanted to post a couple of things while they are fresh on my mind.

In addition to serving as a celebration of a person's life and a chance to say goodbye, funerals serve as a reminder to the living to live.  To forgive.  To prioritize.  To do things that matter. 

What I want to do is:

Spend more time with people I love.  They won't be around forever.  Even if they are difficult, say inappropriate things most of the time, etc.  You just have to accept your family and love them anyway.  You get to choose your friend and can be a little more picky with them.

Help people out more.  Be less selfish.  I know everyone needs recovery time for life, but every minute counts.  I want to get as much in as possible.

Focus on God's purpose for my life.
