One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to
the
country with the > express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be
considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the
father
asked his son, "How was the trip?" "It was great, Dad." "Did you see
how
poor people live?" the father asked. "Oh yeah," said the son. "So,
tell me,
what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father. The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four. We have a pool that
reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no
end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at
night. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole
horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go
beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve
others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our
property
to protect us, they have friends to protect them." The boy's father
was
speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor
we are."
Isn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen
if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about
what we don't have. Appreciate every single thing you have, especially
your friends!
Ya'll have a great weekend!!!!!!
