Richman and Lazarus

Jesus speaks in a parable about the richman and a man named Lazarus. (Luke 16:19-31)  The richman is confident, powerful, sure, strong, indifferent, and rich in so many ways.  Lazarus is simple, single minded, and humbled by his littleness, poverty and seeks only the crumbs to eat that fall from the richman's table. 

I suppose that at times we all have a little of both the richman's attitude as well as that of Lazarus'.  Yet, at the end of the day no one has it all; with age and experience we come to appreaciate the little we do have. --jlf
