The story is told of a very rich lady who dreamt she died and was taken up to heaven. She was given an angel to escort her to her new home. The angel took her past many exquisite mansions.


Passing one of the most elegant, the angel said, “And this is the mansion of your servant who died last year.” Since this was a fine home, the lady became really excited about the anticipated size of her new home. Soon they rounded a turn and came upon a small shack.


“Here is your new home,” the angel announced.


“Is this all? I was of a very wealthy family on earth,” she said.


“Well,” the angel explained, “this is all you sent up.”


Jesus Himself said, “ ‘But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal’ ” (Matthew 6:20, NKJV).


As we plan our weekly giving, let’s be sure that we give due consideration to eternal values, as well as present needs and desires.

Se cuenta la leyenda de una dama muy acaudalada que soñó que había muerto y fue llevada al cielo. Se le asignó un ángel para acompañarla a su nuevo hogar. Soñó que el ángel le mostró muchas exquisitas mansiones.


Pasando por una de las más elegantes, el ángel le dijo, “y ésta mansión es la del sirviente tuyo, quien murió el año pasado.” Como se trataba de una buena casa, la mujer se entusiasmó con el anticipado tamaño de su nuevo hogar. Pronto doblaron una curva y se encontraron con una pequeña choza.


“Aquí está tu nueva casa,” dijo el ángel.


“¿Esto es todo? En la tierra yo era de una famiIia muy acaudalada,” dijo ella.


“Bueno,” explicó el ángel, “esto es todo lo que tu enviaste.”


Jesús mismo dijo, “sino haceos tesoros en el cielo, donde ni la polilla ni el orín corrompen, y donde ladrones no minan ni hurtan.” Mateo 6:20


Al planificar nuestra ofrenda de semana a semana, vamos a estar seguros de prestar la debida atención a los valores eternos, así como las necesidades y los deseos actuales.
