Not where you live, but how you live.
Not what you say, but what you do.
Not what you take, but what you give.
Not what you own, but what you share.
Not what you avenge, but what you forgive.
Not who you know, but who you help.
Not how you play, but how you pray.
Not how you enjoy, but how you endure.
Not how you look, but who you are.
Not how much you work, but how much you love.
Not what's in the bank, but what's in your heart.
Not what others think of you, but what God knows.
David L. Weatherford.

It's not the things that can be bought
That are life's richest treasure,
It's just the little heart gifts
That money cannot measure.
A cheerful smile, a friendly word,
A sympathetic nod
Are priceless little treasures
From the storehouse of our God.
They are the things that can't be bought
With silver or with gold,
For thoughtfulness and kindness
And love are never sold.
They are the priceless things in life
For which no one can pay,
And the giver finds rich recompense
In giving them away.
