I work for a rather large financial company, so a verse in chapter 9 hit home for me today. "What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?" (9:25). My company isn't after the world, but if you were to ask the "main street" person about "wall street" you might think otherwise. Yet the verse is Truth and its simplicity reminds us all that getting a big bonus, nice house etc., is only of material worth. There are bigger things out there in this world that fulfill us more deeply.
Imagine if we could fill the baskets of people in Haiti in such a way that it was if we were feeding the Five Thousand. Donations of food, materials, and time in such abundance that at the end of the recovery, we would have as much as we started with to give to other nations in need. In case you are interested, here are a couple links to get started :)
