Generations of Generosity

I, like every parent, find myself very concerned for my children. Worrying about their financial condition continues, even after they reach adulthood. I’m concerned about their livelihood and financial stability. Deep down inside, however, I know that what they need most from me doesn’t relate to finances.

I recently met with a couple preparing for a family meeting with their children. They planned to communicate how God has blessed them, their commitment to generosity, what they appreciate most about their children, and their hopes and dreams for the future. They also intended to discuss openly their estate distribution plans, including the transfer of a business.

Meetings like this are an extremely valuable gift to children and future generations! They provide families with the opportunity to communicate the importance of their values, including faithfulness and stewardship, in a way that will extend well beyond their lifetimes.

That’s what I’m most concerned about passing to my children: a legacy of faithfulness, stewardship, and trust in God – and I want to help others do the same!

If there’s any way we can help you to consider how to communicate your plans to your children, we would love to support you.
