I was doing my monthly bills again recently. The stack was huge, so I
took a moment to enjoy the balance at the top of the page. Then I
clutched my pen and started to write check after check to pay bill after
bill while the balance got smaller and smaller with each one.
I
finally finished and looked at what was left. The ending balance
wasn't much. It amazed me just how much everything costs these days. I
looked down again at the tiny amount left over and sighed. It was then,
however, that I felt someone behind me. I turned and saw my youngest son
smiling down on me. His handicapped mind had no concept of money, yet
his gentle spirit seemed to know that I could use his smile right then.
I put my pen down, got up from the table, and gave my boy a hug. I
rested my chin on his shoulder, patted him on the back, and thanked God
one more time for giving him to me. At that moment I felt like the
richest man in the entire world. I thanked God again for helping me to
see the truth that the most priceless thing in this whole world is free.
Love is a greater treasure than all the crown jewels that ever sat
on a Queen's head. Love is more precious than every ounce of gold that
was ever mined from the ground. Love is more valuable than all the
stocks and bonds that Wall Street ever sold. Love is what we are here
for.
Love is what life is all about. And love is free!
The
next time then that your pockets are empty, the next time that your bank
balance is low, the next time that you don't have a thin dime to your
name remember that the most valuable thing in this life doesn't cost a
cent. Love is a gift from God that we are all free to share. It brings
us more joy than all the money in the world and the more we give it away
the more of it we have in our hearts, souls, and lives.
It's Free
