David, congrats! You are my 10,000th comment! You win 10 million Wordpress bonus points. Only slightly less valuable than those little points you get from Mallow cups, you got a lot of ‘em!

The old man in the story was an Atheist? I didn’t read that.

I’ve seen some comments on other sites criticizing the man for taking up bedspace! Too many fail to see the causes of poverty, Ginger, mental illness being one of them.

I find it refreshing and reminding that an atheist would do this great act of charity. I do not want to give my children (2, 1 on the way) everything – except for the ability to love and appreciate. If I came into money, would I leave it to them? I hope to leave them a little, but the greatest thing, like you, is to leave them with the habit of selflessness.

I posted a link to this page on my blog. What an amazing story, and how sad that he no doubt suffered from mental illness to be homeless and yet wealthy. So many untreated mental patients out on the street.

What a story. The only difference I would like with my life and his is that I give most of my money away to godly causes before I die. It is so easy to give it away when we are dead. I have seen churches fight over the dead persons money and I would like to avoid that… of course I guess I would avoid it if I was dead
At this childless point in my life I don’t think I want to leave my children any money. I would rather leave them with the memory that I was a good giver and steward with what God loaned to me. I hope this habit would become theirs.
Still an interesting story.
