Quote of the day:
“It is good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good too, to check up once in a while and make sure you haven’t lost the things money can’t buy.” —George Lorimer
Consider:
This quote reminds me of a story.
One day a wealthy father, took his son on a trip to the countryside with the express purpose to show him how poor people live. 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!"
How true, it’s all a matter of perspective! If you have love, friends, family, health, good humor and a positive attitude towards life--you are richly blessed! These are all things that money can’t buy. You may have all the material possessions you can imagine, provisions for the future, etc., but if you are poor of spirit, you have nothing!
Are there any things in your life that you take for granted?
