You know you're poor when:
- You help a friend move and you dig through their Goodwill pile like it's Christmas.
- All the items on your wish list are things you need and not actually want.
- You are forced to participate in "No Shave November" because you can't afford razor refills.
- You don't have gas money to get to the food pantry.
- You have to use shampoo to wash your laundry.
- You use duct tape to fix a problem in your car.
You know you're rich when:
- You are surrounded by people who you love and love you back.
- There are people that care about how you are REALLY doing.
- You have Brothers and Sisters that have your back in a tough time.
- God's joy runs through you despite rough circumstances.
- You are a child of the King of Kings.
- You are able to have fun anytime, anywhere.
These things are all straight from my life. It's all about perspective though. Do I choose to focus on the things that make me "poor" or those bullets that describe the great "wealth" that I have been given. I prefer to focus on what really matters. Though I may be poor by the standards of this world; I am very rich in spiritul blessings and the things that the Lord looks at.
Better a poor man whose walk is blameless
than a rich man whose ways are perverse.
Proverbs 28:6
