“And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.” Ecclesiastes 3:13
A rich man visited the doctor because of his health challenge. After series of tests doctor told it him that he has little time to live.
Doctor told him he should be expecting death in ninety two days because some of his internal organs are shutting down gradually.
It was a bad news for the rich man. However he didn’t tell anybody but he decided to give himself good treats. He arrange to travel to different places, eat good food, wear good clothes and do good to people.
He drew out ninety two days activity plan included his funeral arrangements. He visited many orphanage homes, help several people. He didn’t buy expensive cars or elegant house for himself because he is going to die in few days but he rented expensive car and moved from one seven stars hotel to another most expensive hostel in the city.
The rich man enjoyed himself to the fullness. He spent money on himself and meeting peoples needs.
Everybody was surprised when they see him spending money on himself and helping people because that was not his real personality.
He was fist tightening person. He would not eat well neither wear good clothes. With all his wealth he lived in a old house at a low cost area. Yet he built mansions everywhere in the city for renting.
No member of his family enjoyed his wealth. He did not support anybody. He was gathering money and acquiring properties.
The rich man sold all his properties in a day because he knew is going to die shortly. He put the money into a foundation to help the poor and the needy.
Within ninety two days he discovered he was very happy and much ready to face death. Good people began to flock around him.
In 92 days he lost the sense of fear and pain. His mind was free of the burden of wealth. He ate what he liked to eat. He drank good smoothies and wines. Barrier of limitation was no more in his heart, after all he was a walking dead man.
After 92 days came and passed yet, he was still alive, felt much better. Then he went back to his doctor. “You said I am going to die in 92 days this is going to 95 days, I am much alive, hale and healthy, doctor! What happened?”
Doctor re-examined him second time. This is time, the dying organs of his body were resuscitated. All his internal organs were healthy. No disease or illness again.
Doctor was surprised at the sudden change in his body system. “This is amazing” said the doctor.
What happened to you within 92 days? Asked the doctor. He narrated all that he did within 92 days. He even showed the doctor his 92 day activity plan.
Friend, life is too short for someone to be too serious. The scripture above has said it all. It’s good to make money buy much better to enjoy one’s labour.
As you think of others, don’t forget about yourself. Give yourself a good treats at his festive period. Take good care of your soul, spirit and body. Avoid strife and hatred. Seek peace with all men and woman with this you can see Lord rising for your help and support.
Materialism is a burden. Therefore Bible admonished us not to lay our riches on earth where moth and thieves do steal and destroy. But we should lay our treasures in heaven.
The only way to peace and happiness is to rise others and support them to succeed.
I wish you happy life and good living at all time.
