After dying in a car crash, three friends went to heaven for an orientation session. They were all asked the same question: “When you are in your casket and your family and friends pass by, what would you like to hear them say about you?”
The first man said, “I would like them to say that I was one of the greatest doctors of my generation, and a great family man.”
The second person said, “I want to hear that I was a wonderful husband and an accomplished teacher who helped to shape the next generation.”
The third guy thought for a second, then he said, “I think what I’d like to hear them say when they pass my casket is, ‘Look! He’s moving.’”
The good news is that after a saint dies, he’s still moving . . . to heaven, to glory, to the throne of God. Remember that the next time your addiction has you down.
Recovery Step: Say it with me: “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints” (Psalm 116:15).
