A wealthy man lay on his deathbed. His entire
life had been centered around money. As his life ebbed away, he presumed
that in the afterlife, money would also be everything. So he gave orders
that a purse filled with gold coins be placed inside his casket alongside
his body. His last wish was carried out.
In the next world it took the bookkeepers a long time to find his name in
any of the good books. In fact it took so long that he got very hungry and
thirsty just waiting. He looked around and sure enough, he saw an attractive
eatery not far away. "Aha," he said to himself, "it's just like I thought.
It's a good thing that I brought some money along with me." His mouth was
already watering as he approached the restaurant. But before he sat down to
eat, he was told that the money he had brought along had no value now here.
In fact, only money that was of any value now here was the money he had
given away on earth. The rich man dropped his head in deep thought, but
could not remember having given any money away... so now he had none.
Remember Always: " What I kept I lost. What I gave I have."
