One Thousand Gifts (continued)

"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others"
 (Philippians 2:3,4).

 Yes, his chocolate is awesome, but what is more amazing is the story of Milton Hershey.  He was a great businessman.  More importantly is the legacy that he left behind (and I'm not referring to his chocolate, although it is very yummy).  He has helped many, many people who have worked for him, but even today he continues to help thousands through the fortune that he left behind to start the Hershey Industrial School for orphan boys.  He was humble, and considered the interests of others.  Although one may not be able to leave a $60 million fortune in a trust fund (or delicious chocolate), the remarkable story of Milton Hershey makes me think... what kind of legacy will I leave behind?

Continuing to give thanks...
