"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief."

Wendell Berry

"Whosoever shall smite either a shepherd's dog, or a house-dog, or a Vohunazga dog, or a trained dog, his soul when passing to the other world, shall fly howling louder and more sorely grieved than the sheep does in the lofty forest where the wolf ranges."

Georgian Proverb

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS  
(author unknown)

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 they considered to be a poor family. When they returned home, the father asked his son, "How did you like 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 had one dog, and they had four.



Our patio reaches to the front yard, and they have the whole horizon.
 


We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden, and they have a creek that has no end.
 


We have a small piece of land to live on, and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
 


We have imported lanterns on our porch, and they have the moon at night.
 


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? It 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.
