Behind me Lies Another Fallen Soldier.

[mrskeptik]

Sometimes,
and i don't write this to be selfish but rather to ponder on my own life,
when death makes itself known to me one way or another
i think about life.
I think about what people would say about me if i died today
I think about what people would remember of me.
I think about how the girl i love would be affected
I think about how my family would be affected.
Ultimately
I think about what i would leave behind and how would that glorify God.
What kind of testimony was i for Him while i lived here on earth?

I can't help but reconsider who i am when i read what friends like olga say of
their loved ones that have passed away.

I never knew this chap but i'm sure i would've. We never hung out but i can look forward
to meeting him in Heaven. I know not how he lived his life, and though no one is perfect,
i can tell he touched at least one life by olga's reaction and that affects me because even
if God's love is evident to only one of my friends i would feel like i accomplished something.

I hate to appear morbid to some that may read this but to me it's not morbid at all. I think
i am celebrating this young man's life and the effect he had on one of his friends while he was
alive and hope to do the same to those around me. It inspires me to be a better friend, a better
brother, better son but most of all a better Living Testimony for God while He allows me to be
on this here earth.
