Eulogize Yourself, part I

If you were to write a eulogy for your life what would say about yourself? Create a eulogy that is about a paragraph or two long, no rambling. Would it be a letter of reference for heaven or for hell? In these important paragraphs, as you write about your life, would seeking God, his will, and purposes hold a prominent place?

A eulogy recalls the best things — the highlights of one’s life. A eulogy is also about honesty. How do you think other people see you? How do you really feel about your life up till now? There is something very empowering when you write an account of your life.

Here’s a few hints to get you started. Write about:

  • Your important accomplishments
  • Meaningful relationships in your life
  • The kind of person you are

Writing your eulogy is a way to see what you have focused on in your life. It is a way to discover who or what was important in your life. What has your life meant to others, especially those closest to you? When you’re done, read it a couple of times. It will be hard at first but the point is to think about your life.
