Your Question:

What happens when I'm gone? Who will take care of my family?

Answer:

As I ponder the question of who will take care of my family when I'm gone, I am reminded of the love and support that my wife, Susan, and I have instilled in our children, Joshua and Rebecca. They are both young adults now, with Joshua being 17 and Rebecca 14. I have no doubt that they will take care of each other and continue to grow in their faith as they navigate life's challenges.

As a pastor, I have always emphasized the importance of family and community in times of need. I know that Susan will be there to provide comfort and guidance to our children, and that they will rally around her in times of sorrow. I also trust that our church family will be there to support them as well. I have made sure to teach them the values of hard work, kindness, and compassion, and I have no doubt that they will make wise decisions and take care of each other.

But even as I have confidence in my children's ability to care for each other, I am also reminded of the promise of eternity and the hope of reunion with loved ones who have gone before us. As the Bible says, "We shall be changed" (1 Corinthians 15:51), and I look forward to the day when I will be reunited with Susan and our loved ones in a new heaven and a new earth, where there will be no more pain, sorrow, or death.
