The last few weeks I have been reading Maggie Mason’s blog posts about things she would like to do before she dies, and memories that she hopes flash before her eyes just before she dies. It has been interesting to read her thoughts.
This week I started a short Bible Study called “Live Like you Were Dying“. The last question for the week was, think back to some of your best life moments. This sounds a lot like Maggie’s list of memories she hopes come to mind in her last moments.
Here are a few of my favorite life moments: ( I could write more, but I hear the girls waking up)
-singing the Stars Spangled Banner at the top of the Eiffel Tower
-riding a vespa in Italy in the rain
-Easter in Ecuador
-practicing shoe tieing with my parent’s dinner guests
-taking walks with my Mom (the more you talk, the further you go)
-throwing my sister’s surprise bridal shower
