Poverty……. A closer examination
I am inclined……. to believe…….it was arranged by God
to help me see that real poverty
is the poverty of the soul
the things I have often treasured
where distractions for my mind
that happiness has nothing to do with what we possess
Rather what we place as valuable and what inspires our souls to grow

I think I offended you when I suggested that I wanted better for you
Regarding living conditions
my interpretation of your reactions
- thoughts of a person who doesn’t understand that conditions that meet our needs are good enough
- that having the opportunity to accept and honor your family is the ultimate blessing
- that to dwell upon what isn’t present…. Is denial of what is

my God reaches me and teaches me
thanks “Everything”
Especially for Joan

Thank you for explaining. I understand that your intention came from care, and I truly appreciate it. I am happy with the opportunity God has given me through you-for a better future for my family and for myself. I was not offended. I just didn’t fully understand, as I am still learning through life’s challenges and growing in understanding. I’m sorry if there was anything I misunderstood, and thank you for your kindness.
