Last night as I went to bed I was flipping channels and stopped on a show that had a many dying. He apparently was a doctor, but had no family. There were two other guys with him who it appeared had been mentored by him. The guy kept commenting about dying alone and how even though he had treated so many people he had a fear of dying and no one would remember that he had been here. One of the other guys held him and said over and over, “You were here, you were here, you were here, . . .” as he finally died.
Granted it was just a tv show, but I thought how sad that he had so much contact with people and yet had no reason to feel he had impacted them at all. What a wasted life!
The only things that last forever: the Word of God and people. What are we doing to invest in them?
