Hello ,
She owned a string of hotels. She owned the Empire State Building. She was a billionaire. Yet, in September 1989
she was convicted of 33 counts of tax evasion, for which she spent time in prison. According to Time magazine, she emerged as a penny-pinching tyrant who tried to stiff just about everybody. No amount of money was too small to fight over.
After the sudden death of her only son at age 40 in 1982, she sued and won the lion's share of his estate, $149,000, leaving his four
children with $432 each and his widow with $2,171. Her name? Leona Helmsley. She is now gone, but the reputation of being an angry, greedy, user of people stayed on long after she died.
"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me." John
12:32
What do you want your legacy to be? When people remember you, what words do you want them to think of? Our witness means more than we can possibly assess or appreciate! I want to be remembered for the way I lifted up Jesus with my words, actions, and life. I'm still making mistakes on a daily basis, but I praise God that he's not finished with
me.
Have a great day and God bless!
