Rockefeller’s Assets

Posted: Jul 22, 2008 Tue 04:43 am     Views: 287    Interacts: 1

"Who can tell me how much money the great Rockefeller left behind him?" a teacher asked her class.

The children made wild guesses; Ten million? Fifty million? One billion dollars perhaps? After all, they were talking about the fortunes of one of the world's richest men!

Only one child had a different answer to give, "Rockefeller left every penny behind!"

How true it is, that when the call comes, we are forced to leave behind everything that we call our own in this world! Not even our own hands do we take with us. Of what then are we so proud?
