A New Perspective

A businessman had an angel come to visit him who promised to grant him one request. The man requested a copy of The New York Times one year in the future. As he was studying the future prices on the New York Stock Exchange, he boasted of his plans and the increased riches that would be his as a result of this "insider" look into the future.

He then glanced across the newspaper page only to see his own name in the obituary column. Suddenly, money wasn't so important.

Teach us to number our days aright that we may gain a heart of wisdom. - Psalm 90:12
