Living Eulogy
Day 343
A eulogy is typically a formal, prepared statement of commendation. But eulogy can also be defined as "high praise". You have the opportunity daily to give a living eulogy to those you love.
Rev. John Coulombe explains: "Living eulogies should start at the crib with hands laid on infants, speaking to them good things about who they are, God's will for them, and God's blessing upon them. Living eulogies should continue through those childhood years and adolescent years and adult years and death years. It should be a lifestyle. A living eulogy is the greatest gift that you can give. It is telling someone he or she has value and wishing God's best upon his or her life."
Pray the following Scripture for those you love and let them know that you desire God's blessing on their lives:
"The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace" (Numbers 6:24-26). Amen.
Let this prayer be the start of a living eulogy.
