* Arlene * helps shelters for abused women and children.

 

An emperor in the Far East was growing old and knew it was time to choose his successor. Instead of choosing one of his assistants or his children, he decided something different.

He called young people in the kingdom together one day. He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next emperor. I have decided to choose one of you."

The kids were shocked! But the emperor continued. "I am going to give each one of you a seed today, one very special seed. I want you to plant the seed, water it and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from this one seed. I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next emperor!"

Your father knows whom you are ,i am inspired by greater wisdom of the ages, from ancient times man walked with god ,and by his word we are enlightened ,to chose understanding you will become a teacher of life ,if we seek riches of this life we will all ways search for wisdom ,the 2 different roads we chose ?we reap by choices ,if you chose good you will find treasures in nothing but the unseen realm of gods presence , if we chose assets and wealth and obtain it by dishonesty we are filled with the world of nothing and start our journey again ?in gods presence is love,mercy compassion and the power of his word makes you rest .if we fill our life with the world we find war,violence and trouble then fear drives man to succeed ,observe the world leaders,business monopolies ,education in earning money ? to control all things .but die poor,to rule wisely one must be empty of the world but see the richness in the world creation and having nothing but learning from life teachings being the journey of life and find god ...
