When I think of Manny or, Mr Manny as I always called him, I think of a man who is very wealthy. Let me explain.
You see to some wealth may be having a lot of money. Maybe having nice possessions makes you feel wealthy also. Perhaps having a big family or even family at all makes the wealth radar go crazy for you. Or, maybe your wisdom makes you the wealthiest person around. In scripture when we read the story of King Solomon, the son of David. It tells us that God came to Solomon in a dream and ask him what he wanted. You see , to others when God asks this question all they would want is riches or power, but not King Solomon. He asked God for wisdom. This pleased God and with that God gave him not only wisdom but also riches and power to go with it. For this reason, I found that Manny was so wealthy due to his abundance of wisdom. Now he was not king of Israel but I know that if I ever had a question I could call Mr. Manny and he would know the answers. I might not understand what he said the first time but we would get on the same page eventually. LOL. He always had a way of cracking a joke in between explanations of things no matter how busy he was . Manny was a blessing to all those that knew him and I'm confident in saying that we are blessed to have gained the wealth of wisdom from this great man. Until we meet again, you will be missed Sir . Sylvia , you are in my prayers . God bless.
