Dear Fred

You use the phrase, "finish well." What does that mean to you?

Fred's Response

For the Christian it is hearing Christ say, “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter heaven.” Finishing well is leaving a praise-worthy legacy. So much time is spent concerned with the estate when it is really legacy that counts. It is interesting to ask individuals what did their forbearers leave them by way of legacy. One prominent executive said, “My father talked very little but he taught me to work and to do well at my work.”
