We watched them banter, laugh and enjoy the trip of their life in their dusty gear at the back of the equally dusty truck. There was no way of knowing the subject of their conversation but it was obvious their excitement did not flow from their material possession. It wasn?t even clear if the two of them had eaten that day; just as they didn?t really care what their neighbour in traffic thought of them.

?for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.? ? Philippians 4: 11 (KJV)

He is poor who does not appreciate the gift of life.
Let the Son shine in your heart daily.
