How will you be remembered?



One of the things that I have have been personal thinking about over the past year is this question

How will I/you be remembered?

In main ways it is quite a vain question and Vanity is a sin.

Due to Covid 19 many people have been lost but have they have been forgotten?  Have they die before their time?  Have they achieved their dreams or did they die with these words on their lips "If only?"



When I think about death it is mix emotion sometimes I think about going into battle and knowing that even if I die I die with honour or for something that I believed in.

Some times I think about being on old women with my family and friends be my bedside, knowing that they are happy safe well and were loved.

But then I think about the meaningless deaths ones that come from the 3 Horsemen.

Then I think of death and how really death comes to us all it is just WHEN and HOW.

It scares me, but I can not live my life being afraid or DEATH.

But I do live my life thinking "IF ONLY."

But is not the same thing?



I thing of one more hug and one more kiss fir my children those words I love you xx xx

Yet I do think of the future and what I may or may not be remember for.

Then I thing of this poem.

Stone soup story

When I was younger I remmber being told a story called Stone Soup.

Like many things that we are taught and that we try to teach the futre generation a lot of them come from telling a story.

In many stories the lesion that are taught are how to be a good and kind person. (Alough this story also teacher deseption too.)



If you look on YouTube there are many versions of this story and it would be a good story to watch or read with your young ones.

They could then talk about it and see if they though what the soilder did was good and kind?

There are a number of questions that you could ask and ways that you could talk about this story and many others to learn things like Eithics too.

What is Eithics?




JACKSPRAT

28TH MARCH 2020

Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat. Jack Sprat could eat no fat, His wife could eat no lean; And so betwixt them both, They lick'd the platter clean.


At its origins “Jack Sprat” was known as a proverb, and the term used to refers at short people in the 16th century.


Jack Sprat” Lyrics

Jack Sprat could eat no fat.
His wife could eat no lean.
And so between them both, you see,
They licked the platter clean
Jack ate all the lean,
Joan ate all the fat.
The bone they picked it clean,
Then gave it to the cat










AFTER READING THIS RHYME AGAIN WOULD YOU NOT SAY THAT IT IS STILL RELEVANT TODAY?


SO WHEN YOU GO SHOPPING AT THE MOMENT TRY TO BE MORE FRUGAL AND TO STOP “PANIC BUYING.”
