During the past two weeks the value of a life has been demonstrated many times over. Value measured not in Net Worth or things acquired but in lives enriched and bettered.
As the memories are shared and the moments of life recounted a common thread has emerged. A thread as fine as spun gold. A thread that brought joy, peace, encouragement and life to those it touched.
It’s easy to measure someones life by the size of their bank account, the car they drive or who they hang out with. It’s easy to look at the public records and see the recorded accomplishments but none of these tell the true story of the persons life. I’ve learned and relearned that instead of things the real value of a life is the way it lights the lifes of those it touches. The way others hearts are enriched and in the end, has the thread of that life brought light and life to those it touched or something else.
That the value of a life is best measured in the lifes of others.
