He who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25)The writers of Proverbs assert that what goes around comes around. Whether it's generosity or greed, kindness or malice, the things we do have a way of coming back, either to bless us, or to haunt us.
Jesus said, With the measure you use, it will be measured to you. (Matthew 7:2) Wow! It's my choice.
It can be an enlightening exercise to write one's own obituary. What do we want others to say about us after we're gone? The trick is to not stop with writing those kind words, but then to live the life that would make that obituary fitting and true.
With the measure I use, it will be measured to me. My choice! Just a few verses earlier, Proverb 11:17 reads: A kind man benefits himself.
Every life writes its own obituary. What's your life writing?
