spiritual reveries: POOR? WHO'S POOR?

There is a story about a rich father who takes his son on a trip to the countryside to show how poor some people are. The child is quiet through the whole trip. On their way home, the father asks his son what he learned from the trip, to which the son responds: "Dad, I saw that we have one dog, and they have four. We have a nice swimming pool, but they have a nice creek. We have fancy lights and lanterns, but they have countless stars at night. We have high walls for protection, but they have friends. Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are." Poor indeed are those who do not let go of their comfort zones and let God into their lives.

{Lord, forgive us for sometimes, we don't realized how rich we are. That we have more than what other people can have inspite of the lack of material things. For the real meaning of richness in your eyes are the goodness and goodwill we have done here on earth. Let us remember Lord that when we return to you, we will leave all the tangible things we had here on earth and that the only wealth we can bring are the the connections we made with people. We asked you this in your name and glory. Amen}
