When considering what kind of legacy you want to leave when you die, I’ve heard it said that you should think about what you want written on your tombstone.
I Googled tombstones to see what kind of interesting epitaphs would show up. I found “L.O.L.” on one – Those were actually this person’s initials. I wonder if they were a cheerful person?
Another one proclaimed “Died from not forwarding that text message to 10 people.” I guess we know what they think about all those posts you’re encouraged to pass on “or else”.
And I would like to know who had “Santa Clause” put on the tombstone. Did they want to make the kids cry or was that really his name?
I don’t think they arranged headstones in Bible times, but someone could have had a lot of fun with Elisha’s. Shortly after he died, some dead man was tossed in next to Elisha in his grave(the grave diggers were in a hurry to get out of the cemetery because of some bad guys). And the man came back to life (II Kings 13:20-21)!
I don’t really want some body thrown in next to mine, but whatever is said of me on my tombstone (I assume I won’t get the chance to write that for myself) I hope that the words I write and the life I live will bring blessings and life to the people who read them and know me.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue…Proverbs 18:21

There are a couple in the cemetery next to me that make me shake my head. I'm trying to visit all the A-Z Challenge Blogs in April. My alphabet is at myqualityday.blogspot.com
