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!

'Life is too short and friends are too few,
Look to the Lord to find what is for you.'
