TIME And LIFE: Your Best Presents To Man And God

This is meant to be read by all the livings and all those who think wealth is all they need to change their world or with money, they can buy the world. When you see a man selling handkerchiefs and still sweating profusely in traffic, it tells you that possession is not the same as ownership! Your life belongs to God; you are only having it but you don’t own it. So, be careful what you do with your life before the owner asks for it.

The last wishes of Alexander III of Macedon, commonly known as Alexander the Great, was a King of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty. On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:

The best doctors should carry his coffin
The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery
His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see

One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain.

Here is what Alexander the Great had told them:

“I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal”
“I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, will stay on earth”
I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME.

We do not take to our grave any material wealth. TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED. We can produce more wealth, but we cannot produce more TIME.

When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of our life that we will never take back. Our time is our life!.

The best present that you can give to your family is your time and to God is your life.

May God grant YOU plenty of TIME, to share this important post with all your contacts.
