We have a saying in our family when something wonderful happens—
“We are rich beyond belief.”
And, it doesn’t have anything to do with money.
Although, the origin of the exclamation came from a cute scenario. My niece and nephew were around 6-years-old. We were walking through a casino in Tahoe on our way to dinner with the whole family. My brother had stopped to drop some coins in a slot machine. He hit a $300 jackpot, then stopped and collected. We kept going to get the kids through the casino and to the restaurant.
My nephew turned to his cousin and said with glee, “We are rich beyond belief!” We all busted out laughing at his father’s “enormous fortune,” and it has been a phrase we have all said ever since to describe our rich blessings.
This Sunday, my oldest grandson is graduating from college. We will be there. There was a time when he was little and I was still drinking that my step-son was toying with the idea of not letting me babysit my grandson because of my drinking. He told me so after I got sober.
I am happy to say that my three grandsons have never seen me drink and hopefully, never will. I have been present for all of their lives because I got sober. I would have missed it all—
I am rich beyond belief.
I am sober today by the grace of God with 6,890 days.
You can do this life sober, too.
Try it—You will be rich beyond belief.
"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.”
Ephesians 1:18
