Jeff Foxworthy has one of his "redneck" jokes that goes, "If your richest relative buys a new house and you help remove the wheels and tires, you might be a redneck." We've never had a lot of money in my family, and I am not likely to break that mold.
I come from a long line of honest, hard working, earn everything you get type of people. We have never had much monetarily but we have always been rich. I don't recall anyone in my lineage ever leaving a lot of material wealth to their descendants. Nope, we aren't wealthy but we are rich...
Today's word is a quote that I really like. It says, "If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money cannot buy."
I am rich beyond all imagination. I have a wife who loves and adores me (I don't know why either). We have been blessed to have two wonderful little ones in our lives, who give us a million smiles a day. I have pretty good health, except for that stinking cholesterol. We have a nice place to live, if it survives the little ones. We are blessed with food to eat in abundance. I can see, hear, smell, taste, feel, walk, talk, think, comprehend. Do you get it? I am rich!
Yet, that is not all. I have eternal life through JESUS CHRIST my SAVIOR, and no amount of money can buy that. And, no amount of money can take that away! That alone makes me one of the richest men in this world and in eternity.
The next time you feel as if you don't have anything significant, just think of all the things you have been blessed with that money cannot buy or take away. I think you'll find that you are truly rich!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
