One day , the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country 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!
Pass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh their perspective and appreciation.
"Life is too short and friends are too few."

And families are to far apart! The kids forget where they came from, good or bad!

'OLD' IS WHEN...

Your sweetie says, 'Let's go upstairs And make love,' and you answer, 'Pick one; I can't do both!'

'OLD' IS WHEN... You are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the police.
'OLD' IS WHEN.... You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.

'OLD' IS WHEN.. 'Getting a little action' means you don't need to take any fiber today.

'OLD' IS WHEN... 'Getting lucky' means you found your car in the parking lot.

'OLD' IS WHEN... An 'all night er' means not getting up to use the bathroom.

AND 'OLD' IS WHEN... You are not sure if these are facts or jokes?

Since I am now 75 (as of last Sunday!) I can say,OLD!

Its the pits! Trust me on this one.

Also, take it from me use your time when you are young, well, in your old age it will bring you good memories .

RECIPROCATE PLEASE!

God determines who walks into your life....it's up to you to decide who you let walk away, who you let stay, and who you refuse to let go. pass this on.

If you'll do this for me, I'll do it for you....

When there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need.

Take 60 seconds and give this a shot!

All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this.

Father, God bless all my friends in whatever it is that You know they may need this day!

And may their life be full of your peace, prosperity, and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen.

Then send it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life.

Lets try it, god knows we need some help,, maybe he will hear one of us.

We know he is busy.. but maybe he will hear just ONE of us.

lets give it a shot! Fran
