So Poor
Chaplain Wade Graber
April 21, 2020
Hey Team Caregivers!
Last week I used the quotes below when I led a Bible study on the Sermon on the Mount. The first of the “Beatitudes” says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Mt. 5:3).” The point of that portion of the teaching was to emphasize how we need to be completely spiritually impoverished, so we can receive and celebrate true, spiritual, kingdom riches. The following one-liners were used to share that point. Enjoy!
We Were So ‘Poor’ Quotes

I encourage you to discover, receive, and live in the joy of true, eternal riches! Wow!
