This helped me remember_____

_____that it's important to remember where the lasting and true riches are. I received this in a forwarded email. I didn't do any research on it. I depended on Bravus to do that, to bring out the real truth.

Quote:

Charity....

As you open your pockets for yet another natural disaster or Christmas season, keep these facts in mind when "donating".

Marsha J. Evans, President and CEO of the American Red Cross... Salary for year ending 06/30/03 was $651,957 plus expenses. (That's $74.42 an hour for EVERY hour of EVERY day.)

Brian Gallagher, President of the United Way receives a $375,000 base salary, plus numerous expense benefits.

(That's $42.80 an hour for EVERY hour of EVERY day.)

By far the most inquiries were about Goodwill Industries of Southern Nevada, where Steve Chartrand is the CEO. His salary was $153,200 in 2009, down from the $176,842 he reported to the IRS in 2007. When you add wife Mary Chartrand's salary of $86,500, suddenly the family income is around $239,700. She is human resources director and the next highest paid employee at Goodwill. They've worked together at Goodwill for 14 years, but a new nepotism rule would ban that today.

UNICEF CEO receives $1,200,000 per year plus all expenses and a

ROLLS-ROYCE car where ever he goes and only cents of your dollar goes to the cause. (That's $1369.86 an hour for EVERY hour of EVERY day.)

The Salvation Army's Commissioner Todd Bassett receives a salary of only $13,000 per year (plus housing) for managing this $2 billion dollar organization.

"I [Wisdom] walk in the way of righteousness (moral and spiritual rectitude in every area and relation), in the midst of the paths of justice,

That I may cause those who love me to inherit [true] riches and that I may fill their treasuries.

The Lord formed and brought me [Wisdom] forth at the beginning of His way, before His acts of old."

Proverbs 8:20-22 AMP

Also helped me to choose wisely Who I wish to be my Mentor.

"Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]."1 Corinthians 13:6 AMP

That one will put a person to the test.

God blesses!
