RE: How I Was The Richest Man In The World And Didn't Realize It... And I Don't Mean Money
This must be a theme going on. I just wrote a blog about a very similar subject before seeing this. You're doing a lot of good, Jeff! It's like success though... "Success is never owned, its only rented and rent is due everyday". Life is a real struggle, and it gets even harder when we lose focus of our responsibilities. We all have to take ownership of our actions, because we always reap what we sow, more than we sow, later than we sow. That's why its so important to give generously and honestly with humility. To give thanks when thanks are due, and to continually humble ourselves - not think less of ourselves, but for the betterment of others. And the betterment of others doesn't always mean giving them what they want, but what they need. Its like one of my favorite Proverb's says "Wounds from a friend can be trusted, yet an enemy multiplies kisses" PRVB 27:6
