Family Love Letter

Often, when we talk about death and dying, we also talk about preparation.  Funeral arrangements, financial arrangements...what will we pass on to our children, grandchildren, church and more.

But how often do we think about the legacy we will leave behind?  What will our grandchildren and great-grandchildren remember about us.  If they didn't know us, what will they hear about us.

What if each of us left behind a "Spiritual Will" for our loved ones?  Maybe it would look something like this...

Dear Sons and Daughters,

It would please us greatly if you would make sure that each of our grandchildren knows how our love for you, for them, and for the Lord are all tied together and reflected in the way we have divided our estate among you and the ministries dear to our hearts such as Holland Rescue Mission. And that is why, in addition to our Estate Plan, we have also created a "Spiritual Will," which is really a love letter to our family - passing on our values, life lessons, and blessing to the next generation. We hope that when the time comes and you are all together, someone would read Psalm 16 and our Spiritual Will.

We love you,

Mom and Dad
