Life

Jan 13, 2009

Today I did something makes me think long and hard about my life and how long I will live, I bought Life Insurance.  Before this year I really never gave much thought to when I die or how long I might live, I guess I just thought I would live forever.  This past year (2008) brought several deaths in my family and one was my 30 year old nephew, so unexpected and so unplanned for.  What I mean by that is that the burden of his funeral expenses was put on his family to plan and pay for.  That put me to thinking that we never know when our turn will come and am I ready to leave this world and will my family be burdened by my death.  Don't get me wrong I know there is grief and we don't want to lose our loved ones but I don't want to leave a financial burden on anyone.  So I can say that I have had a good long talk with God and I now am well covered by life insurance that all my debt and funeral expenses will be taken care of.  Kind of makes me feel better and relieved, not that I still have any intention of going anywhere anytime soon but if God sees fit to take me home I am ready.
So now I will continue on my track of becoming healthy and doing my part in making sure I am here a good long  time.
