End of Life Preparations

I have a friend who is getting on in years and is trying to tidy up the end of her life and settle her estate. At one point she said, “It doesn’t matter because I won’t be around to care.” I'm reminded of Jesus as he hung on the cross. The Lord might have easily said, “It doesn’t matter because I won’t be around to care.” However, the Lord in fact did care, “Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, “Dear woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home” (John 19:25-27 NIV).
