Hi,
I agree with you that money is not everything in our life, BUT MONEY IS MANY THINGS IN OUR LIFE. If we have money along with a good family and a peaceful life. NOTHING LIKE THAT.
Bye

Definitely, that's why I don't rely on money. I am not desperate to lord for the money, because I know that it's value also fades.
I am more into wisdom and knowledge, that's what I yearn for in life. To be a good person, a good son, a good husband and a good servant to HIM. For me, that is the best treasure one is worth possessing for..

I agree, and share your point of views. We have very little money, and collectors calling, but we have 4 happy and healthy children, and we have been happily married for 10 years. Sure it might be nice to have a little extra money sometimes, but not at the expense of losing what we already have. We have a home and my husband has a job, I stay at home for our children. We always have food to eat, and clothes to wear. I know people who have lots of money but little love in their life, what good is it then?

Really , such a nice story , well i never read it before , but thanx for letting us know about it. I will definitely go though this story once, and the moral of this story really makes us feel the real value of our family members , that they are the real treasure of our life rather then those worldly possesions...

One must know his priorities in life. Money should be used correctly, that is for our daily needs, food, shelter, clothings,etc.
Real happiness is found in the heart of good people sharing love for the family, wife, husband, babies,etc.
Money can be consumed easily regardless of the amount.
However, Love remains, good memories stay in our hearts, quality time with the family and friends at peace and love.
