When you can see abundance where no one expects it, then you begin to see it everywhere. Though it’s counter-intuitive, abundance is clearest in communities that are labeled poor and needy—in young people who are called “at-risk” or juvenile delinquents, in old people who are looked at as useless and worn out. Why? Because when all the materialism and pretense of the world are stripped away, what’s left is the true picture of a person, who that person is, and what gifts that person brings.
