Who is rich?

One day a father of a wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country to show his son how poor people can be. They spent a couple of days on the farm of a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip son?". He replied, "It was great, Dad.".  "Did you see how poor people can be?" the father asked to his son. "Oh yeah" said the son. "So 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 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 their own." "We have walls around our property to protect us, but they have friends to protect them." Hearing this the boy's father was speechless. Then his son added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."

Moral: Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don't have. What is one person's worthless object is another's prize possession? It is all based on one's perspective. Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks to God for all the bounty we have been provided by Him, instead of worrying about wanting more. May God bless each and every one of us. Take joy in all He has given each and every one of us.
