This is something to think about: 4 WIVES
Once upon a time there was a rich King who had
four wives.
He loved the 4th wife the most and adored her
with rich robes and treated her to the finest of
delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much and was
always
showing her off to neighbouring kingdoms.
However, he feared that one day she would leave
him for another.
He also loved his 2nd wife. She was his
confidant and was always kind, considerate and
patient with him.


Whenever the King faced a problem, he could
confide in her, and she would help him get
through the difficult times.
The King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and
had made great contributions in maintaining his
wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love
the first wife. Although she loved him deeply, he
hardly took notice of her!


One day, the King fell ill and he knew his time
was short.
He thought of his luxurious life and wondered, I
now have four wives with me, but when I die, I'll
be all alone."
Thus, he asked the 4th wife , "I loved you the
most, endowed you with the finest clothing and
showered great care over you. Now that I'm
dying, will you follow me and keep me
company?"
"No way!", replied the 4th wife, and she walked
away without another word.
Her answer cut like a sharp knife right into his
heart.


The sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I loved
you all my
life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and
keep me company?"
"No!", replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good!
When you die, I'm going to remarry!"
His heart sank and turned cold.


He then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always
turned to you for help and you've always been
there for me.
When I die, will you follow me and keep me
company?"
"I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!", replied
the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only walk
with you to your grave."
Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning,
and the King was devastated.


Then a voice called out: "I'll go with you.
I'll follow you no matter where you go."
The King looked up, and there was his first wife.
She was very skinny as she suffered from
malnutrition and neglect.
Greatly grieved, the King said, "I should have
taken much
better care of you when I had the chance!"


In truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives:
Our 4th wife is our body. No matter how much
time and
effort we lavish in making it look good, it will
leave us when we die.


Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and
wealth. When we die, it will all go to others.


Our 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter
how much they have been there for us, the
farthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.


And our 1st wife is our Soul. Often neglected in
pursuit of wealth, power pleasures of the world.


However, our Soul is the only thing that will
follow us where ever we go. Cultivate, strengthen
and cherish it now, for it is the only part of us
that will follow us to the throne of God and
continue with us throughout Eternity.

Waoooooo
