Bigger than ourselves

“Plant tress under which you will never sit.” -- Conway Stone

One of the deepest desires in people is to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. That is why team sports, music groups and even church are so important. We are part of something we cannot do by ourselves. In estate planning there is a big desire for people to leave their money so they can have an impact beyond their years. So tap into that desire now while you are still young. Plant trees under which you will never sit. Teach a child who will live longer than you. Coach a team of young children who will carry your values long after you are gone. Give money to an endowment that will send kids to college for the next 100 years. Did you know $25.00 a month for 30 years if it grows at 6% will equal $25,000? This you can do.
