Have a Little Faith - by Mitch Albom

This book is amazing! I decided to purchase it at the recommendation of a co-worker. Although I have not completed the book, I have been extremely blessed by every page thusfar! If you haven't read the book and don't anticipate reading it, feel free to continue. If you plan to read the book, you will want to stop (as this is a SERIOUS book spoiler).
The book revolves around Mitch's relationship with two individuals (and I'm sure there is much more to enjoy/learn - I'm only on page 118). What has truly moved me up to this page is what I read on page 102. One of the interviewees (an amazing man of faith by the name of "Reb") defines the true meaning of success. I quote:
Mitch: So have we solved the secret of happiness?
"I believe so," he said.
Are you going to tell me?
"Yes, ready?"
Ready.
"Be satisfied."
That's it?
"Be grateful."
That's it?
"For what you have. For the love you receive. And for what God has given you."
That's it?
He looked me in the eye. Then he signed deeply.
"That's it."
My note: AMEN! VERY WELL PUT! Stay tuned for more....
Mitch Albom
