Legacy Planning Is an Act of Love
Have you ever thought about a will as a beautiful testimony of God’s goodness? Yes, the legal stuff needs to be included. But it’s also an opportunity to share the gift of love with your family as you outline the values that have shaped your life. You can do that in two key ways:
- Writing a “cover letter” for your will, also known as a Legacy Love Letter or Ethical Will. Share your memories, stories about how God has worked in your life, and prayers for your family. Your words will be a lasting treasure.
- Including a gift in your will to ministries you care about like Lutheran Hour Ministries. This communicates to your family about the causes important to you and impacts the lives of the people we serve. Psalm 145:4 says, “One generation shall commend Your works to another, and shall declare Your mighty acts.” Your will is an opportunity to communicate about how your faith in God has changed you and the values that have shaped your life. What a precious legacy!
Learn more about sharing love through the legacy you leave behind by contacting LHM’s gift planning staff at lhm-gift@lhm.org or 1-877-333-1963. Do you already have a will that includes LHM? Many people have included LHM in their final plans and have not yet shared this decision. If you are one of these people, please let our team know!
