Hello ,
It was 1916, and
Hetty Green was dead. Hetty's life is a sad demonstration of what it is like to be among the living dead. When Hetty died, her estate was valued at over $100 million; yet Hattie lived in poverty. She ate cold oatmeal because it cost money to heat it. When her son's leg became infected, Hetty wouldn't get it treated until she could find a clinic that wouldn't charge her. By then, her son's leg had to be amputated. Hattie died arguing over the value of drinking skim milk. She had money to
meet her every need, but she chose to live as if it didn't exist.
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace." Ephesians 1:7
Is it possible that sometimes we get caught up in the things of life that don't really matter when we could be rejoicing about how spiritually rich we are through the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ? It's something to ponder!
Have a great day and God bless!
