Today in church we were reminded that our names will be carved in a headstone someday, along with two dates. And though some might choose to have additional details about their life engraved in granite, the only thing that really matters at that point is whether our names are written in heaven. In the Lamb's Book of Life (Rev. 21:27).
As we sang in Sunday School:
Lord, I care not for riches, Neither silver nor gold;
I would make sure of heaven, I would enter the fold;
in the book of Thy kingdom, With its pages so far,
Tell me, Jesus, my Saviour, is my name written there?
--Hymns of Zion #211, v. 1
