There was a Saint who had a vision about what it was like in Hell & Heaven.
In Hell he saw a huge table laden with food in the centre. Surrounding the table were starving people who all had very long forks attached to the ends of their arms. They could stab the food, but the forks were too long for them to put the food in their mouths. They were all screaming in frustration as they tried to eat the food that they longed for.
In Heaven, the saint saw the exact same table laden with food & people with the long forks at the ends of their arms. However, here the people were all smiling & enjoying the food. What they were doing was stabbing the food & putting it in EACH OTHER'S mouths!
The moral of the story is that our heaven & hell is right here on earth. How much we want to help others & be helped in return is what makes the difference.

One's wealth is not measured by what they HAVE, but rather by what they GIVE.
Made me think of a song written and recorded by my friend Clint. Hope you like it!
