Probably well into having traded my guitar in and well on my way to learning the harp! I sure hope not down in Georgia making a losing challenge at playing fiddle if you catch my drift! I know Charlie Daniels well into a Jack Daniels would know what I am talking about. LOL!
However, if by some miracle of GOD I am still looking down at the grass, I hope both my wife and I are still able to get around with family and friends, that we still have our faculties, and can still care for ourselves. Neither one of us wants to outlive our children, grandchildren, or have our kids worry 24/7 about us, as we’re mentally living in a state of loss and constant care. That is every parent’s wish, and we in prayer will ask ever louder for HIM to hear us!
Facing getting older, sickness, death, the state of life, and well-being is never easy, but these questions need to be asked, prepared for, and shared with children and grandchildren, and have taken as much of the burden off them. Put the house in a trust, prepare a Living Will, and maybe discuss it with your lawyer, tax accountant, Executor, or estate planner. Also, have earmarked the monies to pay for the funeral in advance, as outlined in your Living Will (e.g., burial vs. cremation). I want to be buried, and my wife wants to be cremated, so make sure it is specified. The trick is to make leaving this world as seamless as possible in their time of grief.
Well, if you will excuse me, I must get back to reading up on playing the harp! Ah! This looks like it may be much more difficult to learn than playing the fiddle. Just saying.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Point to Ponder: I think I first read it by John the Apostle before Christ recruited him, saying, ” I don’t want the old laws written on stone but in our hearts. I feel the moment of birth is our first step towards death, and there must be more. Hearing you speak today brought the old words alive and gave them new life.” Life has no guarantees.
