We all know the selfish Judas Iscariot betrayed our Lord Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, and that is the price of a slave that time, two thousand years ago.
It's all about money, and this present age, never before had people been so engrossed about money, our lives are ran by money, and everyone in the rat race desire money, and we are all ears when the news about who's who in the Forbes' list of richest men. For money, one would sell his soul to Mephistopheles
Fortunately, for us mortals, there are souls who are not tempted by money, and these souls could very well be the reason why our God has not punished us entirely for avarice.
If so many are wanting to money to pop right at his face, here's a story of one who literally found CASH in front of her but did not claim it for it was not hers. Finder's keepers? Nope, not ours to own.

Hi there Eileen Leyva!
That's a very inspiring story. I hope that more people will follow her example. For most, it will be very hard especially when they are having financial crisis at the very moment. I do hope that more people will feel inspired by this story.

About 35 years ago..I was alone with two small children...I had no money and no food..I am and always have been a born again Christian...So i prayed to God for Help. I knew i had to make it 2 more days before i would receive the money my husband was sending from out of town.I took the kids to the park to play. and as we were walking i found a 5 dollar bill on the ground. I kept it and fed my children...and to this very day i still believe that that money was sent to me from God. That it was God's plan that someone would drop it, and i would find it...
God works in mysterious ways..He provided for us when we needed it.....
