"Very poor" are dirty words in this nation, and I have come to grips with the shame I once carried about being impoverished. I have also learned that very poor has much more to do with the spirit of a person than it does with the balance in his bank account.

Lillian Daniel http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lillian-daniel/ <p>When I was a kid, my mother planned a big garden party, where her yard would be filled with blooming daffodils that she had planted in anticipation. But as the party date approached, the weather stayed cold and no daffodils were even close to blooming.</p><p>Yet on the day of the party, our lawn was filled with daffodils, just as she had dreamed. The guests marveled. No garden had any springtime action like that. </p><p>But then after the guests went home, the daffodils drooped and my mother went through the yard carefully removing all the cut daffodils she had bought at the florist, that she had painstakingly attached to chopsticks with wire twist ties, and stuck in the ground. </p><br><a href=http://www.huffingtonpost.com/lillian-daniel/daffodils_b_1266187.html>Read More...</a><br> <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/christianity/">More on Christianity</a> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/95KXcAQ4ajXcs_zH33u57cr7ET0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/95KXcAQ4ajXcs_zH33u57cr7ET0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/95KXcAQ4ajXcs_zH33u57cr7ET0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/95KXcAQ4ajXcs_zH33u57cr7ET0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.huffingtonpost.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/TheBlog?a=s0i2pFbppU0:99NANsZ37fM:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/huffingtonpost/TheBlog?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/huffingtonpost/TheBlog/~4/s0i2pFbppU0" height="1" width="1"/> tag:www.huffingtonpost.com,2012:/theblog//3.1260006 2012-02-10T14:43:04Z 2012-02-10T14:44:08Z
