As I sit write this blog entry, I hear the word Character
resonating within my spirit. Character
in my opinion is the only thing one has left when they leave this earth. People will remember they type of person he
or she “was”. No! It is not the fortune
or fame, but the character of a person that matters most!
I want to be remembered as hardworking, diligent, loyal,
genuine, and honest. I have a strong
faith in my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Yet, I am not perfect and accept the notion
that it is unattainable. On the other
hand, I do believe that various aspects of one’s life can be perfect. So is there such a thing as having perfect
character? No!
I was at a Brown bag session this week and heard the most
inspirational words this summer. This
inspirational moment evolved from a discussion that ask “Can you have it all?” A
career, a family, and a fulfilling life were the components of this
equation. One panelist indicated that
you can if you put God first, family second, and your career third. WOW!
I attended morning service worshiping at a church in Maryland. I really enjoyed the message today for I know
the prescience of the Lord was there. I
received the divine word and realized that it applied to my life at this
time. Side note- wouldn’t it be
wonderful to be remembered as a God-fearing man/woman! That qualifies the person to be an individual
with good character according to my standards.
I have met many individuals in D.C. that appear to possess
excellent character. On the flipside, I
have also met one or two that appear to have questionable character. I attempt to stay clear of these
persons. I have just a little while
longer here and then I am gone!!
