Examples Of Epitaphs In Tuesdays With Morrie
In the book “Tuesdays with Morrie,” Morrie chose the following epitaph for his tombstone:”A teacher to the last .” An epitaph is a phrase or statement written in memory of a person who has dies, especially as an inscription on a tombstone. When walking through the cemetery, I found 8 epitaphs that stood out to me. The one that stood out the most was “Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.” The Bible says, "The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in us." (Rom.8:18) When you think about that, it helps you bear some of the things you have to go through now."Sorrow may endure for a season, but joy cometh in the morning." (Psa.30:5) Keep your eyes on the Lord! Look forward

Vivian Thomas could have given up when it became too discouraging, but instead he persevered and became an inspiration to many people. During times that are hard, God teaches us more about life, ourselves, and most importantly, about Him.

    Screwtape Letters Essay

    But God’s grace is sufficient for today’s burdens. If I allow my mind to wander to the future, I will miss God’s plan for me right now, today; I will miss the opportunity to let my light shine for Him even through my pain. I have been through many ups and downs in my life. After a traumatic experience a few years ago, I’ve felt very trapped in my troughs with the scarce, brief relief of peaks.…

    Personal Narrative: I Am Ivory Cheyenne Frye

    As I get older, I grow and learn new things each year and as time goes on I realize that there’s not always going to be times of immeasurable joy and laughter. It’d be nice if there was but that’s not how life is. Happiness that’s present in my life is because of God and how straightforward his word is. As a christian, I know that once I’m saved, there is absolutely no one that can take that away from me. Even when I’m going through the storm, the sure promises of God carry me through. You may ask yourself, “ Why would I want to rejoice over anything when I’m going through the worst of times?” Well, when you take time to realize what’s around you, you come to find that you are truly blessed. Everyone that is in my school and church all have supportive families and christian families. None of us have to deal with communism and we’re free to pick our religion. Nevertheless, some of still choose to complain and be discontent with what we have. Everyone of us needs to take a step back and look at the blessings we have in our lives and cherish the things that make us happy. That’s something that is at the core of my…

    What Does Suffering Mean To Be Human Essay

    The Bible says “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God” also, God reveals that suffering carries with it a noble purpose: It should help us to grow in brotherly love, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians6:2) I think that when we support each other through suffering we form closer relationships. I believe that suffering is a part of life that needs to be embraced and that for me, I find comfort in knowing God allows suffering to serve a divine purpose. When we return to God it will bring an end to sadness and suffering. I suffer every day with anxiety. It makes me a better person because I know what it’s like to suffer, and because I suffer, I am a more compassionate person to others. I go out of my way to try to lift others in spirit because I know what it feels like to be down. I try to be a wonderful friend because I know how shortcoming in friends can be a letdown, and how having a good friend has kept me safe on bad days. I think sometimes when people don’t suffer they become self-centered and think they are above others. I think it is often when we suffer that we are drawn closer to our families and given a reality check. Suffering helps us to fulfill our potential as children of God (1John…

    Aphorisms in Tuesdays with Morrie

    “Accept what you are able to do and what you are not able to do.” (Albom 18) is the first and one of the most major aphorisms in Tuesdays with Morrie. I believe Morrie is speaking about recognizing your strengths, and not focusing so much on your weaknesses. He means, as he said, to “accept” your limitations. We are all affected by this aphorism everyday. We have limitations, and a lot of times we get so focused on our weaknesses we don’t take advantage of our strengths., and waste time simply trying to improve upon those weaknesses. For example, I’m not athletic. For a while, I focused on that and I let it upset me. I would set myself up to fail focusing on that, and wasting on my time trying to get rid of that lack of skill. Instead, I should have been focusing on non-athletic things that I am good at, and toning those skills, enjoying using them, rather than focusing on what I’m not able to do.…
