This past week a friend of our family died. It had been a long tough illness courageously fought. Even though it’s a common topic at work (David’s law practice covers wills, estates and probate), it is still hard to hear anyone’s diagnosis or prognosis.
Death is as sure as taxes, so they say. 100% of both. And yet many people don’t plan until it’s absolutely necessary, as in a deadline has been is given. Yet we all know that day is inevitable. Having your legal affairs in order is a blessing for family, but having your spiritual affairs in order is even better!
Of all the things my parents left me, I used to say their estate planning was most helpful – actually its been their spiritual heritage. Knowing they loved Jesus and went safely home to the Father’s Kingdom has been worth more than any other preparation. Everyday I have peace about where they are. I have peace about what they taught me. And I have peace that I will join them someday.
When this life ends, it’s only the beginning of Eternity… if you know Jesus as Savior. And if you don’t? Today can be your Day of salvation: “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is LORD and believe in your heart that GOD raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and thus has righteousness and with the mouth one confesses and thus has salvation.” Romans 10:9-10
I pray you have peace about death- Anna
