Truly. What can you get from too much money and material things? While the not-so-blessed ones strive for money, those who have much struggle to have happiness and peace. It only means you still don't have everything even if you have so much wealth - because the best things in life are never to be equated with any monetary value.
When I was in my elementary days, i see the hardwork of my parents. We were happy and at peace. I often compared myself with people whom I know were just happy with what their parents send them because they were far abroad. They don't have projects being presented in class as works being done through parent's guidance and help. I was rich in love and nurture, that's what I was aware of.
As what our parish priest in one of the masses I attended in Buguey said: "You can never bring all your riches after life, what remains with you will be the good deeds you have sowed while you were still living. Your vast lands, numerous cars, mansion houses and money will be left behind."
So why bother myself with gaining so much, when in fact I can be happy with what I presently have? I want to be busy reaping love and sowing the same for others. After all, the things I can gain with that are the real RICHES which will be considered by my Creator.
