Think about it: there are things in life that are the same whether we are rich or poor. No matter our "status" in life, we see the same moon in the sky, we can cool our toes in the same oceans and lakes, we go to the same parks and picnic at the same beaches ... smell the same flowers, gaze at the same trees, skies, stars, clouds ... and I could go on. I heard someone say this recently and it caused me to pause and think.These gifts that we live with each day are the true diamond-studded jewels in our lives. They are the real riches––there for us all to gaze at, wonder at ... and worship the One who created them all.

It's nice to remember this. We are all created by the same God.
ReplyDeleteI always try to remember that "right now somebody wants no more in life than what I already have" It doesn't matter how little you have someone would be happy to be right where you are.
ReplyDeleteHow right you are, we so often forget that the true gems are all free and given by God.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the great post.

Hello Ms. P...
ReplyDeleteSo happy to have you join in with the fun of Sunday Favorites again this week, my friend! What a beautiful post that you chose to reshare with all of us...although it's new to me!
Isn't this a grand thought? I guess it really is sad that we seem to concentrate on the things that make us different or seperate us from others...not sure why we do that! But it's wonderful and very refreshing to think about the things that connect us as humans...the fact that we have all been created by a loving Heavenly Father (whether some want to admit to that or not...the truth is the truth!) Thank you so very much for this sweet reminder!!!
Have a super Sunday, my friend!
