WHAT IS MINE – By Charles Schokman

Charles SchokmanA GOOD ILLUSTRATION

A man died…

When he realised it, he saw God coming closer with a suitcase in his hand.

Dialogue between God and Dead Man:

God: “Alright son, it’s time to go.”

Man: “So soon? I had a lot of plans…”

God: “I am sorry but, it’s time to go.”

Man: “What do you have in that suitcase?”

God: “Your belongings.”

Man: “My belongings?  You mean my things… clothes… money…”

God; “Those things were never yours, they belong to the Earth.”

Man: “Is it my memories?”

God: “No. They belong to Time.”

Man: “Is it my talent?”

God: “No. They belong to Circumstance.”

Man: “Is it my friends and family?”

God: “No son. They belong to the Path you travelled.”

Man: “Is it my wife and children?”

God: “No. they belong to your Heart.”

Man: “Then it must be my body”

God: “No No… It belongs to Dust.”

Man: “Then surely it must be my Soul!”

God: “You are sadly mistaken son. Your Soul belongs to me.”

Man with tears in his eyes and full of fear took the suitcase from the

God’s hand and opened it…

Empty…

Heartbroken, and with tears down his cheeks, he asks God…

Man: “I never owned anything?”

God: “That’s Right. You never owned anything.”

Man: “Then – what was mine?”

God: “Your ‘MOMENTS’.   Every moment you lived was ‘yours’.”

Do Good in every moment!

Think Good in every moment!

Thank God for every moment!

 

Life is just a Moment!

Live it…

Love it…

Enjoy it……

You are welcome to share this beautiful message & hymn with everyone to know the meaning of life !!!
