My last THOUGHT, My first WORDS

All the relatives came for my father's wake the night prior to the his cremation.  They came on the same night to chat-chat with one another.

In one of the conversation, the 'moment of death' was discuss...

Cousin A:  "I told my mum, at the moment of death, you must pray (chant mantra) repeatedly until the last breath, until your consciousness slips away."
Cousin B: "Yes, the final journey must be travelled alone.  No one can help you at the moment of death.  One must take care of oneself."
I quizzed: "What did you tell your mum to chant at that final moment?"
Cousin A:  " It's up to her.  Maybe can simply chant 'namo ahmeetoh, namo ahmeetoh, namo ahmeetoh...' until the consciousness slips away."

Prior to that night, I had not personally considered of what to do at the moment of my death.  The conversation set me thinking.  Yes, one day I will leave this world.  If I leave peacefully, it is a good idea to 'chant or pray repeatedly'  during the final moment, since I would not know the exact point in time my consciousness slips away.  That prayer must be short and easy.  That will be my last thought on this world, and my first words into the next world.  Now what should those words be?  Think Think Think!

After some thinking, I have chosen the 3 words "Thank you Jesus". Jesus is my link between this life and the next life.  I have considered other options like 'Praise The Lord', 'Have Mercy On Me Jesus', 'Jesus I Commit My Spirit', 'Save Me Jesus' etc.  But I finally decided on a 3-word-Thanksgiving.  Thank you Jesus for this life, and for welcoming me to the next life.

Thank you Jesus.  You made all these possible by dying for me on the cross, and then rose again on the third day.  YOU MADE ETERNAL LIFE POSSIBLE !!!
