Born Rich ..$$$$$$

O.G. Tone

My grand daddy told me this story I was 12?

I will never forget what he told me

It was a story about faith in luck?

My grand daddy said he knew this gentleman named Sam

Sam was a regular guy whom had a good heart

He didn't have a lot of money, or did he drive a fancy car

Sam was a seldom lucky person?

Luck came to him every now in then

Years before Sam had luck, real luck!

Something happened one day?

Every night Sam prayed in asked the lord for help?

He said lord all I ask is to be rich!

He prayed?..I want more money, a nice house, better cloths

As always it was just a prayer

Sam is in his 50's, he has a wife in family

But he don't have the resources like he use to have

One night as Sam prayed he gets a response from ..GOD!

GOD?..Say's Sam my son I hear your prayers every night

So what would you like me to do for you my son?

Sam says?...Sweet Jesus!

You hear me?

I want more money lord, a nice house, a knew car

For my family

GOD!...Responds okay I can do that?

But you only have one flip of the coin

If the coin lands on what ever you have chosen then I will grant that to you?

But if it lands on what you didn't chose then you are to be poor forever?

Sam says?..Wow! could I think about this father?

The lord grant him a little time

Sam walked around his city, going to every homeless encampment he knew

Talked to every homeless person he seen

He later went home in hugged his wife in cried like a baby

He told his wife, The lord spoke to me today?

He gave me an option?

If I win the coin flip?..I am rich forever, If I lose then I am poor forever

He told his wife?..I have been so stupid, that I couldn't see the future?

The lord gave me an option?..But yet he gave me a vision

I never needed to be rich?..or have a nice home, or have a knew car

All I needed was to see others whom have lost the coin flip

In whom are doomed from greed!

All I am today, I am because of my choices

We are misunderstood @ some point? .....As a people

We are all............... born rich!

      Yearning for wealth when you have it right inside of you, is not very smart. Well spoken!
