Who will be crying at your funeral? That’s a question that author
Patrick Morley, began asking himself.
Morley and his wife were successful in their business. Their
schedules were filled with business and civic responsibilities.
Meanwhile they had young children at home who needed their attention.
One evening, as they reviewed their time consuming responsibilities,
the thought came, “Why not prioritize everything we do on the basis of
who will be crying at our funeral?” And that’s exactly what they did.
The results, they claim, saved their family.
Why should you and I invest all our time with people who don’t love us, at the expense of those who do?”
Powerful thought. It is a question of priorities. It is a question
of putting first things first. It is a question of redeeming the
time
