Recently, I was working with a supporter when he asked me an interesting question. “Brother Morris, do you believe planned giving is really giving at all?” My initial thought was “Yes, of course.” But the more I thought on this, the more I realized the answer is not that simple.

Early in my career, my boss would often tell me, “No more today, Henry. My brain is full.” As a young man unencumbered by maturity’s burdens, I found his comments rather amusing. But the older I get, the more truthful his words become. Memories do seem to slowly fade as the cares and pressures of the present drown out the voices of the past. It is so easy to forget.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
—Philippians 4:19—
