One rich man took his son to the village so that he could see with his own eyes how poor people are.
They lived in a poor village for a few days, and later, when they returned to their rich house, the father asked:
"Son, do you understand now what it means to live in poverty?"
"Yes, Father," answered the boy.
Did you learn anything from our trip? Continued his father.
I learned a lot! Answered the son.
-what are they?
"I realized that I had never met such good people!" Answered the boy. "And how rich they are, Papa!"
Are they rich ?! - the father was surprised.
Of course, they are rich! Answered the son. "Look, there's one dog in our house, they have four!" We have a swimming pool in the yard, and they have a sea bay. We have a garden, they have endless forests. We have lanterns, and they are shining with stars.
But after all our family has almost everything! - the father was surprised.
"It is so," answered the son, "and we are always missing something, and they are grateful to God for what they have." We are poor compared to those people

Thank you verymuch @sirknight
True wealth isn't the amount of money we possess, true wealth is happiness and gratitude for what we already possess.
True wealth is what matters the most. In God's kingdom, there will be no material or financial poverty.
Lovely post thank God I saw something nice like this
Indeed @jaff8, there will be no financial poverty in God's kingdom.
Insightful, we all need to understand the place of thanksgiving for what we have
