He invites us to outlive our lives, not just in heaven but here on earth. Here’s a salute to a long life: goodness that outlives the grave, love that outlasts the final breath. May you live in such a way that your death is just the beginning of your life.

Notes for Parents edit
Reading Level: Young AdultsThe writing is rather simple, and it is a basic challenge to all of us to do good to our neighbors. A young child might understand, but will need some guidance as to what some things mean. But for the most part, any child could read this. But the best solution would be to have a parent read it to a child, and then act on what they read together. Great lesson in that for suyre.
