Some thoughts on how to live better...

Shlomo lkhulkhun!

This something interesting that I found on ByzCath.org Forums. It was posted by someone on there that I greatly admire for his knowledge of the Faith and his sincerity in spreading it. He's also a faithful Maronite and has taught me a lot about the Maronite Church, of which I would love to serve one day in some capacity. Anyhow, this was written by a man by the name of Charbel Touma, but was provided by "Yuhannon" from ByzCath forums. If we could just get every Catholic to live this out, what an amazing world that would be!


.::10 Things God Won't Ask::.
1. God won't ask what kind of car you drove, He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation.

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

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

4. God won't ask what your highest salary was, He'll ask if you
compromised your character to obtain it. 5. God won't ask what your job title was, He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6. God won't ask how many friends you had, He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.

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

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

9. 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.
10. God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows, He'll ask if you were ashamed to share this information.

Hey Andrew!

I love the new layout, and this post in particular. It's definitely food for thought. This will stay with me for a long time.

God bless, and keep in touch!
