Dad's Ramblings -- The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

"At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. But it happened in those days that she became sick and died."
 
                                                                               Acts 9:36-37a
 
The name Dorcas means Gazelle. No doubt Dorcas was a graceful lady, like a gazelle, with a beautiful spirit that cared for other people. She had a reputation of good works. She was especially helpful to widows (see vs. 39). But death is no respecter of persons. It comes to everyone – the good and the bad, and the beautiful and the ugly. So what will people say about me when I'm gone?
 
Today's Thought: My reputation – the good, the bad, and the ugly – will linger after I am gone.
 
Have a "beautiful" day. Love you.
