What skills or treasures do you have (or see) buried that could be invested for greater good?

I could do more to serve others and I want to teach my grandchildren the good of doing for the less fortunate. I have the skills to do this.

Zacchaeus had two things working against him; he was short and he was a tax collector. As a short male, he probably was viewed as insignificant-not to be taken seriously. To add to his "short" comings, Zacchaeus was a tax collector. Tax collectors received no respect from the community. They were looked upon as thieves. Even Zacchaeus returned money he took from the townspeople when Jesus was at his home. So, when Jesus picked him to lodge with, Zacchaeus was so excited because he was the unlikely one whom others thought Jesus would choose for His host. Jesus gave to Zacchaeus what he never received from other in his community.

Why was Zaccheaus so joyful when Jesus asked to stay at his house?

how could you not be happy in the presence of god you would have to be evil and in that case you would still submit to god they all did
