Listen "What Will They Remember When You're Gone?"
Episode Synopsis
What will your family remember about you when you're gone? Will they recall someone obsessed with turning off lights and maintaining the lawn, or will they reminisce about a person who made life wonderfully fun? This thought-provoking question emerges from today's reflection on the power of creating meaningful family memories.I share the story of a father who went to extraordinary lengths to surprise his family during their cross-country camping trip. By hitchhiking on the side of the road at the Great Divide, knowing exactly when his family would drive by, he created an unforgettable moment of joy and astonishment for his wife and children. His motivation? "Someday I'm going to be dead, and when that happens, I want my kids and wife to say, 'You know, dad was a lot of fun.'" Rather than dwelling on past parenting mistakes, today's encouragement focuses on seizing present opportunities to bring unexpected moments of fun and happiness into our families' lives. What could you plan this week that would bring smiles and create lasting memories with your loved ones?
