Well, actually, I've always had a bit of trouble with this question. I dunno if its just me, but I don't really care if people remember me after I die. Is that weird? Now I get that my friends and family that are alive will remember me, but I don't really care about my name or anything that I've done "going down in history". I've always found it weird when people say what they want to be remembered for, or when they say that they want to be remembered at all. I've always found it a little weird when people say something along the lines of "if I just made a difference, for even one person, then my life would have mattered". And one thing that has stuck with me from watching the LOTR behind the scenes stuff is when Christopher Lee said something like, "When I take a role, I think about two things: is the character important to the story and will me being in the role, be remembered." And don't shoot me if thats not exactly what he said. But its always slightly bothered me when people admit that they want to be remembered after their death.
I should probably explain now XD But, all in all, I want to live for God. I want my life to be a testimony to His love and His light in my life. I want to be an example for others and to show others that God, the Creator of the world, has a plan for you and for me and that He loves us and wants us all to be closer to Him. I want my life to be God's will. And therefore, I really don't care if I'm remembered for any "great deeds" after I'm gone from this world, because... I was never doing anything for anyone here anyway. Ya know? Or at least, that's my goal XD I don't want to please others, I want to please the Lord, and in doing so, I think I can then please others. But I don't care about the judgements of the world. I only care about God's judgement and if what I'm doing, if my life, truly brings glory to His name.
Now... I dunno if I'm wording that right... But then again, i technically don't care what you think XD Your judgment of me, in this life, does not matter to me. And, so when people say that they want to be remembered, I guess I just... don't see the point. Its not the world's place to place their judgements on me, its not going to matter. So, in that way, I don't care about the judgments of the world, and therefore, being remembered or not. Now, this is also probably an easy thing to say since I am not famous and am barely remembered right now by many people XD But, its all right. Because as I've already said, I ain't living my life for others, I'm living it for God. And even if I were to be remembered for any great deeds, I suppose I would just wish that all the credit was remembered to go to God, because I can do all thing through Him who gives me strength.
But anyway, I dunno, I just thought I'd say this XD I don't really care about being "remembered" cause I'll always be loved my my Father in Heaven ^_^ And you are too! Don't forget that :) That's one thing we should remember in this life anyway XD
