STOP AND THINK – What really matters is what you do with what you have. (Shirley Lord, author)

A person’s value is sometimes measured by what he has accumulated: a grand home; large bank account; fancy cars; possessions of all kinds in great number. A better judgment, however, would be based on what a person has done, or is doing, with what he has. Is it all for himself? Is it invested in worthy ventures? Is it used for the benefit of others?

Solomon: “I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. . . . Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 2:8, 11)
