You're Richer Than You Think (More on Friendship)

Never give up; you never know until you try.

I recently heard Dr. David Jeremiah speak on material wealth.  He noted that if you have any money at all in the bank, food in the cupboard, clothes to wear, etcetera, then you are wealthier than the biggest percentage of people worldwide.  It's easy to lose sight of that fact and start comparing ourselves to the elite in society--the Donald Trump's or mega-celebrities, instead of the homeless or extremely poor (who can be found everywhere if we look). 

Dr. Jeremiah added that if you have a friend, you should really consider yourself wealthy, because you can't put a price on true friendship.  I felt myself smile as I nodded, thinking of the wonderful friends I have been blessed with.

My wish for you is that you find true friendship.  Cultivate it and watch it flourish.  Marcel Proust is quoted as saying, "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." (http://www.brainyquote.com/)
