It all depends on the way you
look at things.
One day a father and his rich family took his son to 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? From
one perspective, you may have possessions and provisions for the future,
but from a spiritual perspective, you are on the verge of bankruptcy.
Perhaps you need a change of perspective.
