Is he Richer or Poorer?
Years ago, I knew Rolly Aberion as a big-time vice
president of a giant bank.
How big? He
headed a thousand people in his department. A thousand! That boggles my mind. But one day, I received an email from him, telling me that he had migrated to the US with his family. So in my next preaching trip, I visit him in Florida. When I saw him at the airport waiting for me, he seemes 10 years younger! Driving me to his home, he told me his story. When he migrated to the US, he started looking for a job. Every company he inquired was looking for a "local
experience." Because he had zero experience in the US, they told him he had to start at the bottom. At the very bottom. Not wanting to be a bum, he accepted the job. So the former vice
president of a giant bank became a lowly clerk. Along the way however, Rolly noticed something. He was stress-free! After leaving his office at 3:30 p.m., he now had the time to fly kites and ride bikes with his two youngest daughters. And he now could take vacations with his beautiful wife. The US proved to be the greener pastures- but in a totally different way. I stayed in his home for two days, and felt so much love circulating his family, it was unbelievable..
