Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Oh Wow! I wasn't expecting you to put God as our business partner at the end. I was too busy getting mad at the man in the story who kept the 100%.
Great story plot, btw. You certainly zeroed in on the man's ingratitude effectively. I guess, we all experience a bit of that ingratitude at one time or another in our lives. A big Ooops!
At one time you declared emphatically that if you could secure suitable employment, you would most earnestly cultivate the spiritual side of life along with material comforts and pleasures.
That you have kept your word as to worldly enjoyment is more than obvious; but in what dark cave, in what inaccessible abyss have you hidden away the tender plant of spiritual aspiration?
When will you start making an effort to bring light into that dark cave?
Delay not! The day that is gone never returns. Invaluable time is slipping away. Devote your days to the endeavor to draw close to the Lord of the Humble. When extreme old age supervenes, you will be too sluggish, too feeble to concentrate on God’s name. How will you then make up for what you failed to do in good time?
