Looking at my Dads medical history gives me insight to what is in store for me. Only he didn't`t have AS or Diabetes. I got the Diabetes from my mother`s side of the family. He beat the normal life span for a male by about 13.5 years, I can`t expect to do that. I figure I have maybe another 16-20 years. Doesn`t seem that much time right now. Putting priorities in order is on my mind. Then again if that`s the time God gives me I should make the most of it as any of us could go any time. I know you can`t take material things with you but what is important is your relationships with God and other people. I think love transcends. We will all meet on the other side so how we treat each other makes a lot of difference in this life and the next. How many people care about you is your real and tangible wealth .I feel sorry for the 1% as they are so off target in life ,power and control are fleeting. Most of history is full of people chasing after the wrong things in life. We all have needs but what good is putting all of your time and efforts into building up more than you need if you can`t bring it with you? I`m thinking friendship and earned respect is real spiritual gold. What ever position I find myself in when I cross over , I`d rather be among lots of people who care about me when I get their ! That said there is nothing wrong with earning things in this life as long as it is done through honest hard work and hurts know one in the process. One should always work towards making a better world than the one we were born into for thoughts who will come after us.
My Dad built up a lot of wealth and in the next few years that will pass to us kids. But what I got of most value has already been passed on to me from birth. Work hard, play hard and don`t hold a grudge. Be fair with others, respect others, be the kind of person who is cared for and respected by others. He thought me what is important by example. The world has lost a great man ,but heaven has gained a great man.
