Be A Blessing Today

The pig was unpopular while the cow was beloved and this puzzled the pig.
PIG: People speak warmly of your gentle nature and your sorrowful eyes.They think you’re generous because each day you give them milk and cream. But what about me? I give them everything I have. I give bacon, ham, etc. I give my ALL.
The cow replied, “It’s not really what you give when you’re dead, it’s about what you give while you’re still alive.”

The truth about this conversation sank in to me after two of my relatives died and we were left with some things that will help ease our financial worries. I hate to say it but their death became a blessing in a way.
This got me thinking. As much as I would like to get a low cost life insurance and leave some security for those I’ll be leaving behind, I want to be able to bless those I love while I am still alive and be able to celebrate the joy of living with them.
magandang araw!
alam mo I love this fable of yours. kaya lang yung nabasa ko eh baligtad naman ang moral lesson.. tipo bang “when the pig gives–he gives them all–even his own life”. may ganito palang version.
