A full life
I just came back from a very touching funeral service. I didn't know the 64 year old man who died, but Ben did. He was a friends father. And from the number of people who attended the service, to what everyone was saying about him, I could tell he led a full life; A life full of conviction, passion, ministry and love.
I walked away from the celebration of his life, with a little more zest to celebrate my own, as well as the lives of those around me.
I want to be more optimistic. I want to be more patient. I want to be a better person. Yet, I will never be perfect. We, as people, are full of imperfection. Still, I want to try harder. I want to be more concious of my actions. I want to create sunshine... my own, and that which to impart on others.
I want to be full.
