“Karen’s Notes!
Insights from a Glory-Bound Lady”

Selected Notes
Volume 5 Number 14 “How I Want to be Remembered”
April 6th, 2022

As I read through one of Karen’s Bible Study journals, I came across a little note that she wrote to herself. Some of what I have read in her journals is too personal, and I cannot share those with anyone. It will be mine to cherish. However, I know that my Karen would not mind me sharing some of her writings with you. What she wrote about how she’d like to be remembered is powerful and so encouraging. This material was originally part of a series of messages I had preached long ago. She gathered the material and put it into her own words.

Karen wrote: I want to be remembered as
A blessed person who loved the Lord (1 John 4:19).
A faithful person who cherished my mate and family (Psalm 128).
A little person who served a great big God (Psalm 100:2).
A trusting person who endured hardships quietly (Philippians 3:10).
A forgiven person who rejoiced in her wonderful Savior (Ephesians 2:8-9).

Michael’s observation: This list contains just a few of the many things for which Karen is remembered! It is a challenge to us to live in such a way that the same things will be said of us. No one lives perfectly on this side of Heaven. Only the Lord Jesus lived a perfect life. However! These few things that Karen wrote were characteristics of the way she lived, and I know they are the very things the Lord wants to develop in our lives.
