Erika shared three questions Charlie asked himself everyday, which were:
What is something I can do for someone today? The second one was, what is something I can do to add value to the world today? And the third was, how can I honor God today?…Ask yourself those three questions every single day, and I promise you, you will get courage. You will. Because what death amplifies even more is that you only get one life. Just one. That’s it. It’s an eternal life. So that’s why you have to live like it matters. But I want to remind you that God has created you for greatness. Not for something that’s lifeless, just greatness. And the question isn’t how long you’re going to live. It’s what are you going to do with your life and the time that the Lord has blessed you with?
As she ended her speech, Erika asked the crowd, “When you get to the end of your life, will the Lord be proud of what you stood for? Will you be able to say that you ran the race, that you fought the good fight?” Or, she said, “Will you realize that you wasted your time that the Lord has blessed you with chasing after things that didn’t even matter?”
“Hold that in perspective,” she said. “Stand up for the truth. Defend life. Love your family fearlessly. Love your spouse fearlessly. Love this country. Defend her. Defend her and serve our God. Don’t think that it’s someone else’s role to do it. You do it. You do it. Do it for Charlie. Do it for Charlie.”
