Rich or Richer?

You can be rich or you can be richer. What will it be for you?

Henri Landwirth, robbed of his childhood, by being interned at Auschwitz, has to be one the richest people I have ever heard about. (And it's not about the money.) After his unspeakable ordeal, he became a very successful business man, and did amass a financial wealth. But instead of grasping his money close to his chest, he has opened his arms; extending them towards sick children. He does it to give them the childhood he missed out on.

My little one has memorized the rules for her favorite girls summer camp, Camp Mattakeesett. All ten are important, but the one rule that will ensure her life is brimming over with riches is: Have a continuous sense of service.

You can't be poor when your heart is full.
