We are not promised tomorrow. Anyone of us could have any number of things happen to us and not be here one minute from now. I'm not trying to be morbid but more so realistic. If this were to happen to me there are some things I would want the world to know and I would want to have the last word.
1. If you were to hear of my death I am going to need you to gather a group of friends and sing all 5 verses to The Wonderful Grace of Jesus. The more elaborate the better. Kudos to the person who gets a full orchestra. I don't need classically trained vocalists because I want people that are singing from their hearts. I'm going to be watching. I will know who respected my final wishes and I'm not trying to scare you or anything but I will haunt you if you don't.
2. If anyone cries at my funeral let it only be because they are laughing so hard at a memory of me. I am in a much better place than this world do not cry for me. Laugh because I brought you joy and if you didn't like me...laugh because you no longer have to deal with me but no tears okay?
3. To my immediate family I loved each and everyone of you with my whole heart. That is not to say that you did not drive me insane at one time or another but you were my world. I did not care about climbing a corporate ladder or finding fame I wanted to know that each of you always felt loved.
4. To my friends, and by friends I pretty much mean any human that ever returned my smile. I want each and every one of you to know you are loved, you are good enough. If you feel like no one likes you. Like everyone hates you. Please know that everyone feels like this every once in awhile, you are human, but you are also wrong. It isn't that people don't like you it is that people are so self absorbed thinking that other people hate them that they don't take the time to love on others. Go out and do something nice for someone and just see how quickly your own perspective changes.
5. To the person who has to clean up my stuff. Bless your heart. The reason I was keeping all of this stuff was because I was completely convinced that I would need it again someday. It's good stuff. I just don't need it where I'm going. Don't just throw it away, I will be watching and I will totally judge you highly.
6. To my non-Christian friends. I have failed you miserably. I never wanted to beat you over the head with the knowledge of the Love of Jesus. I didn't want you to think I was judging you and thinking that I was better than you. I am a horribly flawed individual it is only because Jesus loves me that I have hope and guess what...he loves you too...just exactly as you are whether you like it or not he loves you. Could you at the very least read a book? There is one called The case for Christ that is really good. I haven't read it because I was not a reader, my attention span was way more Squirrel level than that, but I hear good things.
7. I would also like to go on record to say that no matter what you have heard of me or how weird you may think that I am I have never taken even the first sip of alcohol or done drugs. It was just never something I wanted to do, and after awhile it just became something I wanted to see how long I could keep it going. Not the drug part that stuff will kill you, but the alcohol part. I will say that I would have liked to have tried a glass of wine just to see what it tasted like but it would have needed to be a very sweet wine because I have the tastebuds of a 3 year old. I never had the first cup of coffee either for this very reason. I know that I may appear weird or half drunk part of the time but that is just my God given personality. Can you imagine if I did delve into the world of narcotics and hallucinogens? Would not have been pretty.
To be honest these are things I don't care that you know even with me still around which is why I wrote them. You are loved my friends. Very much so, by me. Have a great day and I will see you later!
