A tax assessor came one day to a poor pastor to determine the amount of
taxes the pastor would have to pay.
The following conversation took place;
"What property do you possess?"
asked the assessor.
"I am a very wealthy man,"
replied the minister.
"List your possessions, please,"
the assessor instructed.
"First , I have everlasting life,
John 3:16.
"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,

The tax assessor closed his book, and said,

but your property is not subject to taxation. "
