Imagine this: you’ve just received a hefty inheritance. Exciting, right? But before you rush off to buy that sports car or book that dream vacation, hit the brakes! Today, we’re exploring how to handle an inheritance responsibly and, more importantly, how to do it in a way that honors God. We’ll discuss the emotional rollercoaster that comes with such a windfall, including the feelings of grief, gratitude, and overwhelming responsibility. I’ll share a poignant story about a client named Henry, who faced the same crossroads when his grandfather passed away. He had to choose between indulging in immediate pleasures or making wise, long-term decisions that honored his grandfather’s legacy. Spoiler alert: the right choice led to peace, purpose, and even a scholarship fund in his grandfather’s name! So, let’s chat about how you can turn your inheritance into a blessing for yourself and others, making choices that reflect your values and truly honor those you’ve lost. Trust me, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss! Inheritance incoming—are you ready?
