Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
"After you finish a simple funeral," wrote Mitsuyo Honda, 43, housewife, "I would like you to
grab a handful of ashes and get on a bullet train . . . When you arrive in Tokyo, take a cab and get
off at Ginza (in central Tokyo), then find a coffee shop and take a break . . . Then find a nice tree
along the street, and quietly cast my ashes at its root."
It is important that we have a will, and I hope you will include your church. Remember we come
into this world with nothing and we leave this world with nothing. But, even the way our assets
are distributed after our death will say a lot about who fills our soul.

(Revelation 2:10
NRSV)
Permit me to do a little prying. It's for your own benefit. How many of you have made a will?
Many family squabbles have erupted over the lack of a well-thought out will. There is a book
titled THE 400-WORD WILL. It contains some interesting wills from Japan. Listen to one of
them. I quote:
Prayer: Dear God, thank you for all that you have entrusted to me. May my will be a
thank you to your kingdom. Amen.
