But then.....
Our shower door broke.
Our dryer broke.
Hmph....
I was about to really let this issue bother me but my sweet, precious 7 year old said, "It's a good thing we're not poor." Which is so funny cause I use to always say, "We don't have money for that" when she asked for something. So she thought we were poor. I changed my answer now to, "That's not really a priority right now" so she now knows the difference.
We aren't poor. We don't have extra money just laying around to get the latest fashion trend of the week or anything but we have plenty. Our needs are always, without fail met. And met to the fullest!
I'm eating good food as I'm typing (I have to multi-task in order to get anything done).
We have clothes overflowing in our closet and drawers.
We have money in the bank and change in a dish.
Our bills are always paid.
WE HAVE EACH OTHER!!
WE HAVE FAMILY!!
WE HAVE FRIENDS!
WE HAVE JOBS!
WE HAVE OUR HEALTH!!
Not to mention we have a God who is loving and gracious and who has forgiven us of all our wrongs!!! That is the most awesome blessing of all!!
Isn't this signs of being RICH? We are indeed blessed beyond measure and I'm not going to let a silly dryer or shower door distract me from the true blessings in life.
It's easy to lose focus. I do it a lot. But I'm so thankful God used my sweet little Jada to re-focus my priorities today.
So, we loaded up the clothes in the basket and put hung them our grandmothers old clothes line (she lives next door)!
God is good.
Yep, He's good all the time. Good.Bad.Laughing.Crying.
In plenty and in want.
He's good.
This is such a good post, I want to print part of it out and hang it in my kitchen! I might just do that when I get a minute!!! When we really stop to count our blessing the list is endless. You are a beautiful, honest writer! With a pretty good girl(s) there too!!! xoxox
