Remembering that the only life you can fully control and take responsibility for as you live with Jesus as your Lord and Saviour is your own.
Iain D. Campbell writes:
“While browsing the old gravestones in the Ui Cemetery this morning, I was taken with the inscription on a stone to the memory of a Donald Macdonald who had been a GP in the Isle of Lewis in the second half of the nineteenth century. I just loved the last part of the epitaph:
“During upwards of 20 years he devoted his splendid abilities with conspicuous energy and rare unselfishness to ministering to the poor people of his native parish; Generous and loyal in all the relationships of life he valued truth and the approval of his own conscience above earthly gain or the praise of his fellow-men; He left to his family the priceless inheritance of an honourable name, and to his widow her pride in sharing it.”
I love this too.
