I believe that Grace is our most important gift, that health is our most important possession, and that children are our most important legacy.
Muhammad once said that "None amoungst you can get into Paradise by virtue of his deeds alone, not even I, but that Allah should wrap me in his grace and mercy". The ancient Hindu sage Vasistha considered it to be the only way to transcend the bondage of lifetimes of karma. In Christianity, Jesus taught us that grace is the unmerited mercy God gave us by sending his son to die on the cross.
Health is the level of metabolic efficiency of a living organism. In humans, it is the general condition of a person's mind, body and spirit, usually meaning to be free from illness, injury and pain. It is is not only a state or conditon, it is the resource for everyday life, and it includes a disposition to be generous and helpful. Don't be fooled by the idea that your legacy is some kind of bequest to your heirs. Your legacy is the love and respect that has been transmitted to your children.
Just as God's divine love and protection has been bestowed freely on us, who you are will live on in your children.
