Think about it!!!!!!!!!! !

(Author unknown) 

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country side with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights 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?

Makes you wonder what would happen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don't have.

Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!

And if you like your friends, why not share this with them

Sharing is Caring and it is Loving
