John Bacon, the famous sculptor, left this inscription on his tomb in Westminster Abbey:

“What I was as an artist seemed of some importance to me while I lived; but what I was as a believer in Jesus Christ is the only thing of importance to me now.”

 What will be inscribed on your tomb?   Wishing you much love and much light.
