Suddenly i thought of this.............

Over breakfast this morning, my friend told me of another friend's demise,who succumbed to heart attack last Saturday,he was 51 years old.

We were just thinking of visiting him but guess it was all to late now and suddenly I began to ponder of this famous quote from Jim Elliot, a Christian missionary, who was killed when he was 29 for doing God's work........

The quote," He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep but to gain what he cannot lose", don't know why I am still pondering over this quote..............what do you think of it ?

P/S : Life.... I am living it

    may he rest in peace. Life is short, that's why we need to really appreciate the people around us.

    I would love that! Just drop dead one fine day. Wouldn't want to grow old and wobbly, this cannot eat, that cannot eat, eyesight almost gone, hearing also no good...or worse still, if sick and bedridden. This, I pray to God every day, that I will be spared of anything like this...

    "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep but to gain what he cannot lose"

    He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep - All the riches in the world can't be fit into a small coffin. Better use it for charity or to help to make a world a better place. Only a fool will said that it was all gone to wasted when we gave away our possession for doing good.

    but to gain what he cannot lose - When you have done good to others, you will in return get something back which money cant buy and you will always have it with you no matter what happened.
