Consider the homeless and all that has been lost to them.
They are grateful for small things
A cup of coffee
A hot meal
A cot to sleep on
Shelter from the rain, snow, heat or cold weather
A smile
A nod
A hug
A change of clean clothes
All the things that most take for granted
Consider your wealth
You may think you have nothing but someone else has less
Your fortune is grater than you may realise
Share what you have and your soul will grow strong
You will be at peace within yourself

Inspired by Aesop’s Fable: A Covetous Man
A Miser once buried all his money in the ground, at the food of a tree, and went every day to feast upon the sight of his treasure. A thief, who had watched him at this occupation, came on night and carried off the gold. The next day the Miser, finding his treasure gone, tore his clothes and filled the air with his cries. One of his neighbors told him that, since he didn’t spend the money anyway, he hadn’t really lost anything. “Go every day,” he said, “and just pretend your money is there, and you’ll be as well off as ever.”
