"TAXES "

 

A tax assessor  came one day to a poor Christian to determine the amount of taxes he would have to  pay.  The  following conversation took place:

 

"What property do you possess?" asked the assessor.

 

"I am a very wealthy man," replied the Christian.

 

"List your possessions, please," the assessor  instructed.

 

The Christian said:

 

"First, I have everlasting life, John 3:16

 

Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2

 

Third, I have peace that passes all understanding,  Philippians 4:7

 

Fourth, I have joy unspeakable, 1 Peter 1:8

 

Fifth, I have divine love which never fails, 1 Corinthians 13:8

 

Sixth, I have a faithful wife, Proverbs 31:10

 

Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children, Exodus  20:12

 

Eighth, I have true, loyal friends, Proverbs 18:24

 

Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8

 

Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12"

 

The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you  are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation."

 

I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth."

Have a richly blessed day!

 

"HOPE"

 

 

It's magic and it's free
It's not in a prescription
It's not in an IV.

 

It punctuates our laughter,
It sparkles in our tears,
It simmers under sorrows,
And dissipates our fears.

 

Do you know what Hope is?
It's reaching past today,
It's dreaming of tomorrow,
It's trying a new way,

 

It's pushing past impossible
It's pounding on the door,
It's questioning the Answers,
It's always seeking more,

 

It's rumors of a breakthrough,
It's whispers of a cure,
A rollercoaster ride
Of remedies, unsure.

 

Do you know what Hope is?
It's candy for the soul,
It's perfume for the spirit,
To share it, makes you Whole.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
