Hello ,
"Fairy Tale Princess Story Turns Sour After Newlyweds Lose Money." So read the headlines of the Daily Herald in Chicago on February 20, 1996. A newlywed couple had left a black zippered case on the roof of their car as they sped away from the reception to begin their honeymoon. The case had all their wedding gift money in it - $12,000. By the time they reached their destination it was gone.
Two days later the same newspaper carried headlines to a related story: "Finders Keepers? Not All Believe It!" David Yi, an unemployed suburban resident, had come upon a black bag with $12,000 in cash. In spite of his mounting bills and jobless state, he didn't keep the money. Tracking the couple down, he returned the full amount. When asked why he turned it all in, he said, "I guess it doesn't matter
whether it's $50 or $1,000 or $1 million. It doesn't belong to me."
Upon investigation, the media discovered that David Yi acting as Good Samaritan was consistent with his overall character. David had found $50 the year before and turned it in as well. When offered jobs because of the exposure he received, Yi said he would only consider jobs he was qualified for. He felt
accepting a managerial position for which he was unequipped was dishonest.
For we are taking pains to do what is right, not only in the eyes of the Lord but also in
the eyes of man. 2 Corinthians 8:21 (NIV)
Honesty is more than the best policy...In God's kingdom it's the only policy!
Have a great day and God bless!
