“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. Dad asked, 'Did you see how poor they are? What did you learn?' Son said, 'We have one dog, they have four, we have a pool, they have rivers, we have lanterns at night, they have starts, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends, we have encyclopedias, they have the Bible.' Then they headed, 'Thanks, dad, for showing me how poor we are.' MORAL LESSON: It is not about money that makes us rich, it is about simplicity of having God in our lives.”
