R U Ready for Departure?

Tomorrow I will speak to 20 or so pastors at a luncheon. I am going to verbally slap them across the face to wake them up. There is a huge problem facing most of their congregation and they are not warning their church members.

I have seen this problem in my years of ministry, insurance and being a Senior Adult Expert. Many people have left their families in a financial and legal mes that could have been avoided. 95% do not have current documents such as wills and powers of attorney.

Let me ask you this. Do you have a will and end of life documents that have been updated in the last 5 years? Do you have a DNR filled out and on file? Do you have Durable Power of Attorney completed or anything for your last wishes?

If not, you are missing the example Jesus gave us in His death on the Cross.

When he looked up, He saw His mother, Mary and John, the beloved disciple. He said "Woman, this is your son". To John, He said, "This is your mother". I marvel at what is recorded in the WORD. From that time on she went to live with him.

In the throes of death and pain like no one will ever experience, Jesus made end of life provision for his Mom. She was already a widow and now losing her oldest son. He knew life would be tough on her. He provided her care for her latter years.

I am begining to do workshops in churches with local attorneys to help people get their papers in order. A few minutes of planning and few bucks of legal fees can reduce the heartache your family will face when you are gone.

Email me and I will send you some basic documents to help start the process.
