Dear friends,

TRUE RICHES:

One day a rich dad took his son on a trip to a village. He wanted to show him how poor someone can be. They spent time on the farm of a poor family. On their return from the trip the father asked his son how was the trip.

“It was great, dad.” the son replied.

“Did you see how poor people live?” the father asked.

“Oh yes,” said the son.

“So, tell me, what did you learn from this trip?” asked the father.

The son answered. “We have one dog but they have four. We have a pool but they have rivers. We have tube lights at night but they have the stars. We buy food but they grow their own.

We have walls to protect us but they have a community to protect each other. We have a television but they spend their

time with family and friends.”

The boy’s father was speechless.

Then his son added. “Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

Jesus warned: Be careful and guard against all kinds of greed. Life is not measured by how much one owns.
Luke chapter 12 verse 15. Youth Bible.
