What's in a name?

There are many things I could discuss when talking about the subject title but for some events that have just transpired over the last few days I thought I'd focus on that. Yesterday a friend of mine's grandfather passed away. Now, I don't know her grandfather but from the little amount that I know of him his life still speaks volumes to me.

Now, I’ve never met my friend’s grandfather and didn’t even know his first name till yesterday. However, the two things I know about this man are that of his last name, McMillan, and that he had been married to his wife for 72yrs. Wow! 72yrs! I can’t imagine a life of 72yrs let alone being married to someone for that long!

What stands out to me is that he has lead a life that has been built on a strong foundation. I say that because his life is reflected through the family he has around him. I don’t know all of the McMillan family but I think a majority of his bloodline are faithful Christians and continue to serve and love the Lord.

I’m all about actions speaking louder than words and he is a great testament to that. I’m sure there will be many who will reflect on his life given to family and to the Lord and heaven is rejoicing in his coming home.

Be blessed McMillan family. I see you have been already.
