2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery, and
3. His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to see.
2. I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth…
3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME…

Matthew 19:26
“You say, ‘it’s impossible’… God says, “All things are possible with me…”
Hebrews 4:16
“Let us then approach God’s
throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to
help us in our time of need…”
The
last wishes of Alexander the Great:
On his death bed,
Alexander summoned his generals and told them his three ultimate wishes:
1. The best doctors should carry his coffin;2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery, and
3. His hands should be let loose, hanging outside the coffin for all to see.
One of his
generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to
explain. Here is what Alexander the Great had to say:
1. I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to
demonstrate that, in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have
no power to heal…2. I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth…
3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after the most precious treasure of all is exhausted, and that is TIME…
TIME is our most precious treasure because it is LIMITED… We can produce more wealth, but we cannot
produce more time. When we give someone our time, we actually give a portion of
our life that we will never take back. Our time is our life… ~ Forward email
Wat ‘n absolute waarheid is hierdie storie nie?! Dis drie baie kosbare lesse of waarhede
waaraan mens gereeld herinner moet word…
Ek weet nie wie van julle soos ek is nie, maar wanneer ek iets baie
spesifiek wil koop, soos bv 'n horlosie, of 'n mooi rok vir 'n dans, sal ek
altyd AL my opsies oorweeg... Ek sal gaan kyk wat al die moontlike winkels in
die sentrum het om te bied, en baie keer (tot my frustrasie) kies ek op die ou
end die eerste opsie wat my oog gevang het... Maar ek wil altyd DUBBEL seker
maak dat ek nie dalk iets koop, net om twee winkels verder dalk iets kry
waarvan ek meer hou nie... Of dalk ‘n beter “deal” nie… Op toer het ek dit ook al 'n paar keer beleef
dat iemand op ons toer iets in 'n winkel sien waarvan hulle hou, en dan nie
seker is oor die aankoop nie... Wat dan baie keer gebeur is dat daar besluit
word dat ons sal teruggaan na die winkel, vir die item, maar dat ons dan op die
einde van die toer besef dat daar nie tyd is vir teruggaan nie...
Ons leef baie keer 'n lewe van "ek sal 'n bietjie
later of ek sal teruggaan vir dit..." Ek wil nie nou al die moeilike
besluit maak nie; of ek wil nie nou hierdie konflik op my pad hanteer nie; ek
wil nie seerkry nie, so kom ek beskerm myself en waag eerder nie 'n kans nie;
ek wil nie uit my comfortzone beweeg nie; ek wil nie nou al vir God kies nie,
ek wil eers bietjie my lewe sonder reels geniet... Ek sal bietjie later vir die
mense in my lewe laat besef of vertel dat ek hulle liefhet... Bietjie later,
kan dalk te laat wees - vir al hierdie dinge... Jy lewe NOU... God het jou met
'n doel in die hier en nou laat leef... En Hy wil jou lewe van seën en oorvloed
laat leef - nou al... Nie bietjie later nie... Think NOW or never... Not
later... Moenie iets uitstel wat jy vandag al kon doen nie... Moenie wegskram
van uitdagings of veranderinge omdat dit scary lyk nie... Jou God is groter!!!
Now or never means - changing the world, 1 day at a time... Baby steps...
Uitdaging vir uitdaging... God is by jou en Hy belowe om jou NOOIT, maar NOOIT
alleen te los om "die LEWE" en al sy uitdagings te face nie... Hy sal
sorg dat dinge in plek val - solank jy sorg om Hom te ken in wat jy doen... Om
te bid, en jou versoeke met danksegging aan Hom te bring... Op jou kniee, sal
die onmoontlike moontlik word soos wat hierbo staan in Matteus 19:26...
Blessings!
Anel xx
