Here's a story that will really make you think about what's most important in life.
The wives who lived within the walls of the Weinsberg Castle
in Germany were well aware of the riches it held: gold, silver, jewels &
wealth beyond belief.
Then the day came in 1141 A. D. when all their treasure was
threatened.
And enemy army had surrounded the castle & demanded the
fortress, the fortune & the lives of the men within. There was nothing to
do but surrender.
Although the conquering commander had set a condition for
the safe release of all the women & children, the wives of Weinsberg
refused to leave without having one of their own conditions met, as well.
They demanded that they be allowed to fill their arms with
as many possessions as they could carry out with them. Knowing that the women
couldn't possibly carry much compared to the massive fortune in the castle,
their request was honored.
When the castle gates opened, the army outside was brought
to tears.
Each woman had carried out her husband.
The wives of Weinsberg, indeed, were well aware of the real
riches the castle held.

but a wife who puts him to shame is like bone cancer.”

first.” - Billy Sunday.
