Good morning! One
day a father and his rich family took his young 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 in 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 finishing, 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 toward
life, you've got everything! You can't buy any of these things. 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!"
Your
Turn: No matter how you define wealth, I believe we can
all agree that without a thankful heart, none of us are wealthy. Watch
how your life becomes richer as you celebrate the practical ideas for
giving thanks throughout the year.
Affirmation:
The key to wealth of spirit is gratitude. | |||||||
