TRUE STORY.
*Many years ago, on New Year's Day, a very rich man who had no wife, no children, no other family members, decided to invite all the employees of his villa to dinner.*
*He called the staff and asked them to sit at the table.*
*In front of everyone there was a BIBLE and a small sum of MONEY.*
*After everyone was installed, the man asked:*
*"What would you prefer to receive as a gift: this BIBLE or this MONEY?*
*Do not be shy, you can choose what you want. "*
*THE GUARDIAN WAS THE FIRST TO REACT:*
*"Sir, I would love to receive the Bible, but since I have not learned to read, the money will be more useful to me."*
*THE GARDENER WAS THE SECOND TO SPEAK:*
*"Sir, my wife is very sick and that's why I need more money, otherwise I would choose the Bible for sure!"*
*THE THIRD WAS THE COOK:*
*"Sir, I like reading to tell the truth, it's one of the things I like to do, but I work so hard that I never find time to flip through a magazine, let alone the Bible. I will take the money. "*
*IN THE END, IT WAS THE turn OF THE BOY WHO TAKES CARE OF THE ANIMALS OF THE VILLA.*
*And as the gentleman of the villa knew that the boy's family was very poor, he stepped forward and said:*
*"Surely you too want the money, do not you?" So you can buy food to have a good dinner at home and buy new shoes. "*
BUT THE BOY,
as for him, surprised everybody with his answer:
*"It would not hurt to buy a turkey and other tasty food to share with my parents and siblings, I also need a pair of new shoes because mine are very old. even so, I will choose the Bible, I have always wanted one.My mother taught me that the Word of God is worth more than gold and that it is more tasty than a honeymoon "*
*After receiving the Bible, the boy immediately puffed it out and found two envelopes inside.*
*In the first, there was a cheque that was 10 times higher than the money on the table.*
*In the second, there was a document that made (whoever would choose the Bible), the heir to the wealth of the rich!*
*Faced with the boy's emotion and the astonishment of the other servants, the gentleman opened one of the Bibles and read aloud so that everyone could hear:*
*Psalms 19: 7-10:*
*The law of the LORD is perfect, it restores the soul;*
*The testimony of the Lord is true, he makes wise the ignorant.*
*The ordinances of the LORD are righteous, they rejoice the heart;*
*The commandments of the Lord are pure, they light up the eyes.*
*The fear of the Lord is pure, it subsists forever;*
*The judgments of the Lord are true, they are all just.*
*They are more precious than gold, than a lot of fine gold; They are sweeter than honey, than the one that pours rays.*
*May God give us wisdom and help us always make the right choice.*
