One day, a rich dad took his son on a trip who wanted him to learn about the life of a poor. He wanted to show him how poor someone can be and maybe will make him appreciate what he have in his life. Off they went to spend time on the farm of a poor family and stayed with the poor family for a couple of hours.
On the way home, the dad asked the boy, "Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?".
The son said to his father, "We have one dog, they have four. We have one small pool, they have a flowing river. We have beautiful lanterns at night, they have millions of stars to gaze at night, We buy foods in a package, they grow theirs and pick them fresh from the garden. We have walls to protect us, they have friends that defend them. We have volumes of encyclopedias and yet they have one great Bible that bonds them with love." Then the boy added, "Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are."
MORAL LESSON: It's not about money that make us rich, it's about simplicity of having God in our lives.
