"Second, I have a mansion in heaven (John 14:2).
"Third, I have peace that passeth understanding (Philippians 4:7).
"Fourth, I have joy unspeakable (1 Peter 1:8).
"Fifth, I have divine love which never faileth (1 Corinthians 13:8).
"Sixth, I have a faithful precious wife (Proverbs 31:10).
"Seventh, I have healthy, happy obedient children (Exodus 20:12).
"Eighth, I have true, loyal friend (Proverbs 18:24).
"Ninth, I have songs in the night (Psalms 42:8).

The tax assessor closed his book, and said, "Truly you are a very rich
man, but your wealth is not subject to taxation.
