What will be important

(the post before this one is about Andrew´s baby shower... it has lots of photos!)

I was thinking, when my life here is almost over, and I am almost to die, what will I be thinking about? Will I be thinking about my home, or car, or the possessions that I have acquired over the years? Will I be thinking about the money I made? Will I be thinking about bills that need paid, or the stock market, or retirement plans? Will I be worrying about things? Will I be upset with my children, or with my wife?
When that day comes, I will be thinking about what is about to come. I will be thinking about Jesus, and him dying for my sins, and that is why at that moment, I have no reason to fear or worry. I will be thinking about all the time I spent with my wife, and be overwhelmed that God would bless me with such a wonderful woman. I will be thinking about my children, and I won´t be angry because of spilled milk, or crayon marks on the wall. Instead I will look around, and thank God for being so good to me. I will think about how God has helped me over the years, and provided for me and my family. I will think about the times I trusted in Him, and how wonderful that was.
But of all the things I will be thinking about, money will not be one of them. Because when I am about to leave this world, I will not take money or anything from this world with me. I will take my faith and my love, and a heart full of memories.
What will be important to me on the day I die, may it also be important to me now...
