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.
