This email was forwarded to me by Shirley Southard. It is appropriate in light of the tax season and our scurrying to mail our taxes the first part of the week.
TAXES
A tax assesor came one day to a poor Christian to determine the amount of taxes he would have to pay. The following conversation took place:
"What property do you possess?" asked the assessor.
"I am a very wealthy man," replied the Christain.
"List your possessions, please," the assessor instructed.
The Christian said, "First, Ihave everlasting life, John 3:16. Second, I have a mansion in heaven, John 14:2. Third, I have the peace that passes all understanding, Philippians 4:7. Fourth, I have joy unspeakable, I Peter 1:8. Fifth, I have divine love which never fails, I Corinthians 13:8. Sixth, I have a faithful wife, Proverbs 31:10. Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children, Exodus 20:12. Eighth, I have a true, loyal friend, Proverbs 18:24. Ninth, I have songs in the night, Psalms 42:8. Tenth, I have a crown of life, James 1:12."
The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you are a very rich man, but your property is not subject to taxation."
I pray that all of us will have this kind of tax free "wealth".
And that you have a blessed rich day.
