SOME PEOPLE ARE SO POOR THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE IS MONEY

SOME PEOPLE ARE SO POOR THAT’S ALL THEY HAVE IS MONEY

Published from WordPress by Donna Brown Bowles October 30, 2022

There was this rich man and he had a son.
His son didn’t seem to appreciate the riches that they had. So, he decided to take his son on a trip to a poor village and spend some time with a family that was very poor, in hopes that his son would then appreciate their great riches.
So they spent a week with this family and when they returned home, he asked his son what he had learned from this and, his son replied:

We have one dog.
They have four.

We have pools.
They have rivers and streams.

We have lamps at night.
They have stars.

We buy food.
They grow theirs.

We have alarms to keep us safe.
They have God and friends.

We have a big screen TV that we sit in front of.
The sit by campfires sharing stories with family and friends.

We have great walls to protect us.

They have Jesus to protect them.

Then the boy said, “Thanks dad for showing me how poor we are.”

The brazen scorn of the desert

Can seem punishing

Although we must ask ourselves

Is truth a punishment

If we choose to look its way

There’s a certain beauty

Even in the face of shame

The sun’s wrath to some

May be seen as a curse

But to others it may be a gift

In our deepest hour of despair
