I love the movie "You've Got Mail". I make no apologies for it. It's one chick flick I dig. A lot. I like Meg...she's quirky. I always wanted to be able to pull off her messy "I just rolled outta the rack" 'do. But, I can't. I've tried. It wasn't pretty.
There is a point to all this...remember in the movie when she was lamenting that she never could say what she wanted in a conversation. That she always thought of her comebacks AFTER the conversation was over.
I can so relate.
I'm a processor. I'm not quick on my feet. I have to digest & stew & mull over before I can relate my thoughts & feelings on things.
And, due to this...I have started journals to my children as part of The J.O.Y. Experiment.
Each of my three children has a journal. In it I write scriptures, prayers, quotes, and thoughts. And, this Christmas...it will be my gift to them.
And, then I plan to do it again & again. Lord willing.
I'm sure it will be lost on them in their teenage years...even into young adulthood. But, I pray that those words will become a treasure when they are older. When I am gone...
When I'm gone...
I've thought about that a lot.
How will I be remembered?
I pray that as they hold those journals in their hands years from now...
they'll remember that their mama loved Jesus.
And, that, my friends, is what I want on my tombstone...
SHE LOVED JESUS.
