One day a very wealthy father took his son to a very humble farm home. The father wanted the son to see and apreciate everything they have. For the son was never near poverty. The father decided to spent one day and one night with his son at this very humble home. On the next day after spending the night and returning to their beautiful manssion. The father wanted to hear his son's reaction towards the educating trip.
Father: So son what do you think about the trip. Did
you see how poor pleople live?
Son: Yes father.
Father: What do you think? What have you learn from this trip?
Son: I have learn that they have four dogs and we only have one. I have
learn that we have a small garden and they have an entire forest. I
have learn that we have a small stream on our back yard and they have
a full river that has no end. I have learn that our back yard goes to
the end of our property and they have an entire horizon. I have learn
that we have lamps on our back yard to keep us from the dark and they
have the stars.
The son continues his reply and said: Thank you father for showing me
how poor we really are. We sometimes don't realize the blessings of
our heavenly father. And that is why we need to be like kids in order
to enter into heaven.(Luke 18:17) Lets not worry about what we have
or what we need, have faith in God and he will provide.(Luke 12:22)
