I like Snoopy & Charlie Brown. A few years ago, a cartoon pictured Charlie Brown bringing out Snoopy’s dinner on Thanksgiving Day. It was just his usual dog food in a bowl.
Snoopy took one look at the dog food and said, “This isn’t fair. The rest of the world today is eating turkey with all the trimmings, and all I get is dog food. Because I’m a dog,” he said, “all I get is dog food.”
He stood there, stared at his dog food for a moment, and said, “I guess it could be worse. I could be a turkey.”
Oh yes, there is always someone worse off than you.
Proverbs 29:7
A righteous man knows the rights of the poor; a wicked man does not understand such knowledge.
Proverbs 22:2
The rich and the poor meet together; the Lord is the maker of them all.
Matthew 26:11
For you always have the poor with you, but you will not always have me.
Be thankful you’re not in the poor man’s shoes.
Give it some thought.
