From a dear friend in the St Francis Fraternity, I got an e-mail... it's comforting yet thought provoking.



"Things God Won't Ask On That Day"

God won't ask what kind of car you drove; He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation

God won't ask the square footage of your house; He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.

God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet; He'll ask how many you helped clothe.

God won't ask what your highest salary was; He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.

God won't ask what your job title was; He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.

God won't ask how many friends you had; He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived; He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.

God won't ask about the color of your skin; He'll ask about the content of your character.

God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation; He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven... and not to the Gates of Hell.


And I know that there are others we all can add--add one in comments.
