I've been thinking...

After several different conversations I am feeling a bit sentimental. I'm not usually the sentimental blogger type but felt like typing. I've been thinking a lot about life, how confusing it can be, how wonderful it can be, how hard it can be. But mainly thinking about what I want others to say about me when I go on to be with Jesus. I have sooo many qualities I want to pass on to my little girl (and boy) and so many days I feel SO FAR from being the mommy I want to be. After thinking and praying through a lot, this song came to my mind so I thought I would share it.

When the music fades into the past,
When the days of life are through,
What will be remembered of where I've come?
When all is said and done?

Will they say I loved my family?
That I was a faithful friend?
That I lived to tell of God's own son?
When all is said and done.

Of how I longed to see the hour,
When I would hear that trumpet sound.
So I could rise and see my Savior's face,
And see him smile,
And say 'Well done.'

You can forget my name
And the songs I've sung,
Every line and every tune.
But remember the truth of Jesus' love,
When all is said and done

When all is said and done.
