Proverb 10

Daily Devotional from Proverb 10—
 
Verse 7
The memory of the righteous is a blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot.

Reading this made me think of Arlan Askew, one of the long-time saints of our church who is now in heaven. I think of how he brought his pocket change every month for the BGMC offering, in a hand-carved barrel. How he drove my kids around in his tractor-trailer. How he would build or fix anything needed, with or without being asked. He was a righteous man, and I am blessed by his memory.

How will you be remembered? I think our presence, our actions, and our words will be what keeps us alive in people’s memories. Were we present? Did we serve with a kind spirit? Did we speak love and life to those we came in contact with each day? Let’s strive to live our lives so that our memory will be a blessing to our church, our family, our friends, and our community.
