The Greatest Gift of All

He taught us how to live, He taught us how to die, 
He taught us how to LOVE!



“The mansion [in heaven] prepared for you . . . is never earned; it is only given. . . . Only that which is truly given, . . . Only that good which is done for the love of doing it . . . Only those plans in which the welfare of others is the master thought. Only those labors in which the sacrifice is greater than the reward. [Your mansion is prepared] only with those gifts in which the giver forgets himself.” 
~ The Mansion, by Henry Van Dyke


“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, . . . But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, . . . For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” ~ Matthew 6:19-21
