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,
Exodus 20:12.

"Eighth, I have true, loyal friends,

"Ninth, I have songs in the night,

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