Faithful

Joseph was a faithful son. Joseph was a faithful slave. Joseph was a faithful prisoner. Joseph was a faithful prime minister. Joseph on his death bed was a faithful witness to the promises of God. I think I see a pattern there.

Being faithful: recognizing that since you live each moment in the presence of God that obedience is the only option wherever you may find yourself on the journey into His eternal presence. Age has nothing to do with it.

It begins with this moment. Faithful is not something you become some day; it's what you are called to be right now. This day.

Faithful. That's a one word epitaph I could live with--and die for.
