What can I say?

| Is your status the only thing you have? Share a little, but not your status, please! |
To me, whatever is your financial position in this ever-changing world, you can always share even just a little of what you have. Remember, you were born and meant to live your life not only for yourself, nor for your family alone, but for others as well.
The richest in this world cannot be presented before GOD at the time judgement. However, the richest that you gained can be good instruments to share to others who are in dire need of your help. You will be judge by God by what you have done in this world. Share and be a blessing to others. The more that you get rich, the more that you shall give. This is a continuing challenge not just to billionaires but to mankind.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Angelo. Yes, that's right. Whether you have much or less, as long as you are willing to lend a hand with something, you can always give even just a little. Kindness spells it all. Good day!
DeleteBy the way, Angelo, this post is quite relevant to the recent tragedy in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. How I wish these billionaires will share a little of their fortune to the survivors of tropical storm Sendong. What do you think?
