Thanks for the reminder that not only "older" people need to think about these things.

This is an excellent topic = thank you for bringing it up.

Everyone has posted what I would say - except this. (Maybe it was said - I didn't read every single reply).

When my mom died, we searched and searched for letters she said she was writing to each of her four children. We never did find them. I don't know if it's because she never managed to finish them - and didn't want to give us unfinished letters - or if they got locked away somewhere private and we don't know where - maybe we will come upon them one day.

This made me think that I want to have a letter to my beloveds - to each of them - somewhere safe - and tell them where it is - so if something happens to me - they will have something to read and reread for years to come with my thoughts of love and life to them. One thing that will be in my letter to each of them will be about the great goodness of God, despite whatever evil happens in this world. It will be about the HOPE - the Certain Hope - offered to each of them through Jesus Christ (some know HIm, some don't) with some of my favorite and most meaningful Bible passages. That's not all that will be in my letter to each - but it will be part. And, thanks to this thread, I will start on this project right away!
