" For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus " Philippians 1:6 " Riches " It all depends on the way you look at things. One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose to show him how poor people can be. They spent a day and a night on the farm of a very poor family. When they got back from their trip the father asked his son, " How was the trip? " " Very good Dad! " " Did you see how poor people can be? " the father asked. " Yeah! " " And what did you learn? " The son answered, " I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden, they have a creek that has no end. We have imported lamps in the garden, they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard, they have a whole horizon. " When the little boy was finished, his father was speechless. His son added, " Thanks, Dad for showing me how poor we are! " Isn't it true that it all depends on the way you look at things? If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life - you've got everything! You can't buy any of these things, but still, you can have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc.; but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing! --Author Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
