Living Eulogy
Day 343
A eulogy is typically a formal, prepared statement of commendation. But
eulogy can also be defined as "high praise" (Merriam-Webster). 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 the 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.
