Good Quote, Sherm! As soon as I read this, immediately, all the blessings and gifts the Lord has poured out upon me and those I love started like a rosary of thoughts going through my mind. And I realize that I AM rich because I don’t have any real wants…maybe a few wishes but all my needs have been met by the Lord and in that is RICHNESS of LIFE AND SOUL. Thanks for the reminder!!!
What a great quote Sherman from a great attitude. Thinking about it makes me realize how much I have to thank the Lord for each day. The author seems to say along with the Psalmist, …” The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want…” (Ps 23:1).
Thanks for this beautiful quote. It surely is true. Of all that I have the most beautiful things I have experienced in life has been orchestrated by God. No possession can take the place of walking through fields when the morning sun is about to rise, or talking to a friend that God has put in my life to share our life experiences, or becoming more and more aware how significant God is in my life. These are most valuable and freely given by our loving Lord Jesus. God even takes care of our wants unuttered in such Godly ways we are in awe of His timeliness, care, and loving arms through others.
I think this is a very good quote for the day, we need to remember as this quote says, our richness is in the fewness of our wants,,,and as Sara shared when the Lord is our Shepard we shall not want….Hes all we need….dj
