Luxury and wealth

[Christina2000]

I was reading about the Orient Express in a book, I looked up the prices! I could never ever afford such prices and luxury. What is the most expensive meal or holiday you ever took and was it worth it? No need to say how much exactly. It is ok for most of us to imagine and dream I'm sure.

I have had very few expensive meals in my life, they stay in my memory all the more as they were so rare. A hotel stay once was so nice I still treasure the tastes of fantastic food, plush room and wonderful service. Once I had a wine given to me which was unbelievable, I had no idea a wine could taste so good. Once champagne at a rich friends party was unbelievable. Yet rich people must have that all the time. The rest of us must budget.

The Queen was the richest woman alive, enjoyed the very best of everything all her life. It is sobering to see that she went the same way as us all. Came with nothing, left with nothing.

James Chapter 2 (KJV)
1"My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?"

Oh how I know all this is true. Although many have not seen, this I have, and oh how they have hid it, among many of faces, when many have thought they, these people were true, Who will we believe, the word of their kind words that is only a makeup, that is not true, but dressed up only for you. That we may believe, The Lie.
