What legacy will you leave behind for your family?

Pastor Gerrit Mes; from the pulpit.

Are you ready for your own funeral service?

You prepare for illness by having a medical aid, for holidays by making bookings and retirement by saving and investments.

So why are you surprised about my opening question?

Most of us try not to think about death, but in reality it is the only certainty in life. How do you prepare for your own funeral?

For starters, make right with your Creator. Dying is not such an issue if you and God are in a close relationship.

Then make right with family and friends.

These are the people who will gather on your special day. What will they remember about you and what will they say?

What legacy will you leave behind for your family and friends to think about?

I have done hundreds of funerals over the years and each time I think about my own one.

PS. Psalm 116:15, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.”
