Because I'm rich!
Once, my four year old grandson said to me, "Bald headed papa (that's what my grandsons call me), I'm rich! I got two mama's, two daddy's, and a bunch of toys, I'm rich!"
So yes, I can say, I'm rich. I got a heavenly Father that watches over me, a mansion waiting for me in glory. Here on this earth, I have a roof up above me, a good place to sleep, food on my table and shoes on my feet. I've also got a loving family.
Materially, the Lord has brought me from poverty (I believe this experience was to show me that man does not live by bread alone), and blessed me greatly. I love to farm and ride tractors...the Lord gave me a small farm, and four tractors...I don't mind helping out my neighbors...the Lord is allowing me to help them by keeping their pecan orchards mowed (and I get to ride my tractor).
I was a single parent for several years...the Lord gave me three children to raise. I'm able now to help them if they need help.
I love old people, so the Lord has allowed me to preach in a local nursing home for over 20 years. I love our country, so the Lord opened a door for me to be the Chaplain at our local American Legion. I like to write, so the Lord let me write a book, poems, short stories, and a few songs. I kinda like to act and make people laugh, so the Lord allowed me to do a few videos for you tube.
Yes, I'm not a millionaire by any means, yet I'm rich beyond my wildest dreams!
THANK YOU LORD, FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME!
