At one time or another we all dream about what it would be like to have a lot of money or be a popular star. I received an email today that asked the following questions among others. Name the last five Miss America winners. Name five people who taught you something worthwhile. Which were you able to answer?
There is a similar comparison regarding biblical characters. Name one of the ten spies who brought back a bad report when Israel was at the boundary of the Promised Land about to go in and claim the land. Name one of the spies that brought back a good report. If you don't know your Bible both of those may have been difficult to answer, but most people know that Joshua and Caleb returned the good report. I have never met anyone who could name one of the ten who brought the bad report.
The whole point of both comparisons is that people who make a difference are the people who are remembered. They are the ones who should be labeled famous. So you can be famous also. Just be someone who makes a difference in the lives of others. You will be remembered. But what about the rich part? By making a difference in the lives of others you will be enriched beyond what money can do. Your will not be able to deposit your riches in the bank, but your life will be blessed and a blessing.
