Story and thought for the day
One day a father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people live, They spent a couple of days and night 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? May we have a thankful perspective in all seasons.
Wonderful story Robin........look forward to seeing you at noon at the TRAC. Hoping this wind will back off a bit beforehand.

ReplyDeleteI've had two good friends go through chemo and both of them had their hair come back in thicker and softer. Are you going to go really wild with the wig? This is your chance to let out your wild inner self. LOL We want pictures.
