There's always...

Today my husband and I celebrated 3 years of marriage!

Anyway, I was reminded today of the simplicity of being content. Because there will always be...someone richer, someone prettier, someone more talented...bigger house, better clothes...there will always be.....isn't it true? So I am reminded to be thankful for what I have, for there is always someone with "more" of something.

Sometimes easier said than done. Some days I am tested when I see people purchasing items in a heartbeat that I have dreamed of having for a long time. Even though sometimes they can't really afford it, they just swipe the magical card that in some cases ends up biting them back and chasing them while interest builds up and they end up carrying more of a burden than satisfaction. What happened before there were credit cards? You mean people actually had to buy things with cash they had already earned? They couldn't buy it if they didn't have the money? Seems odd now...

So that is when I am reminded that even though I feel like a black sheep, waiting patiently and saving cash for particular items I really desire, that it is indeed the honorable thing. At least in God's eyes.

Pslam 23:1 - "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want."
