Perspective

As I get older… I sometimes fall into the “natural trap” looking at what others have and feeling like a winner or loser… depending where I am at the time.

I remember going on an out of town business trip to a Ritzy City where it seemed that every car on the street was a Porche, Mercedes, or Ferrari. The shopping mall was selling $400 blue jeans, $17,000 leather jacket & $1000 shoes… Wow! I felt that life had passed me by!

Then thinking about our mission trip to Guatemala no resort towns here! The back of the pick up truck was your taxi and the
shopping mall was a street with live chickens and pigs (we saw the guy take the pigs to market… WITH A LEASH - 4 pigs in tow- just like walking the dog down the sidewalk).

Wow… how blessed I was to be living in Canada, to have running water, real toilets, a car to drive & Costco. Its all to do with
perspective. A few weeks ago I read this poem and for me… it was a home run on perspective.
