It had been a long tough illness courageously fought. Even though it\u2019s a common topic at work (David\u2019s law practice covers wills, estates and probate), it is still hard to hear anyone\u2019s diagnosis or prognosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Death is as sure as taxes, so they say. 100% of both. And yet many people don\u2019t plan until it\u2019s 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!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the things my parents left me, I used to say their estate planning was most helpful &#8211;  actually its been their spiritual heritage. Knowing they loved Jesus and went safely home to the Father\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this life ends, it\u2019s only the beginning of Eternity\u2026 if you know Jesus as Savior. And if you don\u2019t? Today can be your Day of salvation:&nbsp;\u201cIf 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.\u201d Romans 10:9-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I pray you have peace about death- Anna<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ForGlorySake.com<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/forglorysake.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/8057F6DB-1A4D-483F-AA94-402E8253D34E.jpeg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7582\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past week a friend of our family died.
