Story


I read this story
 of a farmer
who sold his farm and left his family
to travel the world in search of wealth.
He looked everywhere he could 
to find the diamonds
he lusted after.
Finally,
 alone, homeless and in despair
he ended his own life.
His search for riches had consumed him.


The man who bought the land from the farmer,
was grateful for every blade of grass
that was now his
and lavished love and hard work on his farm.
At night he was surrounded by his family,
and eating the fruits of his labor.
He was a contented man.
One day he made a remarkable discovery.
His backyard was a diamond mine-
an acre of diamonds.
And the simple farmer 
became wealthy beyond his dreams.

~appreciate and love what we have~

Sending love and hugs! 💗
