Priceless Things

From a beggar to a banker; life is not about what you've got. When God assesses your value, being wealthy won't mean a lot. The true size of your heart is all God will judge you on in the end. And there's no better résumé than a lifetime spent as a friend. You may not be rich or famous; but some things in life are still free. Hope never comes with a price tag, and there's no cost for air or sea. There are so many priceless things; like freedom, or the setting sun. And nothing's more precious than love, or the joy of just having fun. You cannot buy a warm spring breeze; or pay a nightingale to sing. Pity is free to give away, and kindness doesn't cost you a thing.

Beautiful pen Emile! Truly enjoyed your very thoughtful piece about kindness dear friend . No, kindness doesn't cost a penny but sadly one that goes lacking in peoples hearts these days. We need changes around the globe with this one but love kindness caring compassion have to start first at home and then we can spread around everywhere.A 7 from me! Have a nice day! :) Love and hugs! xxoxoxx D.^0^
