Each one of us has our own Grecian urns. Can you guess what they are? They are our very own lives. When we die, our lives will "be on an Urn." That is, there will be people who remembered us for the things that we did in this life. If we spend our lives in selfishness and extravagence, then people will remember us as that kind of a person. But if we do lots of things for our communities and other people, then lots of people will remember us, and they will tell others about us and the good things that we did in our lives.
What kind of a Legacy do you want to leave? Me, personally, I want to be remembered as a good Godly person who did lots of good things for my community and family. But that's just me. We each have to do things in our lives, what you do with your own lives is entirely up to each person. I really want to make a good impression on this planet before I leave it for heaven. I want to be remembered, I don't want to be forgotten. And that can only happen if I do things for others and God instead of myself,
What will be on your Urn? The acts that you did while you were alive will be on it. Will people want to look at your Urn, or will they turn their heads away from it because there is nothing interesting on it. So we must use our time we have very wisley. Each person determines what will be on their Urn, just remember that.

This reminds me of a project I had to do in 10th grade. We had to write a poem that would go on our fake tombstone that described our lives and how people would remember us. Many people don't realize that others notice what they do, even if they don't say anything. As Christians, our actions can either be a witness to an unbeliever, or they can convince them that they don't need salvation because we do the same things they do. We really need to pay more attention to detail; such as the details on our future urn.
