Richer Than You Think
=====================

I went to the ATM today to get money.

As I stood in line a fellow came up to stand in line behind me. He said to another friend that he seemed to know that was walking up at the same time.

"I ran out of money."

I finished getting money from the ATM as the gentleman behind me stepped up.

A thought crossed my mind.

I turned and said to him,"You didn't run out of money. Running out of money is when there is none in the bank,you can't get any out of the ATM, and you don't have any anywhere else. That's running out of money."

He looked at me and said, "you are absolutely right, I guess I hadn't looked at it that way, I'm not out of money."

Far too many times we look at our situations in life and think that we are "OUT" when in reality, we have plenty, it's just not jingling in our pocket at the moment.

I am not just talking about money.

We complain that we are out of love, power, happiness, joy, peace, rest, health, satisfaction, beauty, etc. The list goes on and on.

Don't know what's in your bank. Click the links below to find out.

You are not out, you just don't know what's in the bank.

The link at the bottom takes one to the Town Hall web page. There are several featured articles there that should be a must read for everyone that really wants to see a conservative view of several topics. It is doubtful if any of these will be on the front page of the major newspapers.
