What makes one rich?

is it the amount of money in a bank account?

is it the price paid for a car, house, jewelry, and such?

is it the number of friends?

I consider myself VERY weathly, but certianly not my any of the standards above.

I am rich beyond belief based upon the depth of my friendships and the ability

and choice to recognize life's moments, big and small, as priceless.

I had one such phone call this evening. It was two-part actually. The first call deep with dialog, engaging conversation, and multiple interruptions from off-spring. (which prompted the need to continue the call later).

The second call was 20 mintues later. In that 20 minutes, a significant life event happened, for which we had been praying about for a few weeks, and today in particular. That call was one filled with listening and encouraging. Tears and prayers. Affirmation and appreciation.

PRICELESS!!!
