Earlier tonight while I was cleaning off our table after a meal, I just thought how crazy lucky we were to have it. It’s a great table. I hope it’s in our family for a long time. No matter where we may roam.
Then I thought… how crazy is it that we got to be born here?? This country where I can have this table. This time, where life is so incredibly wealthy, materially speaking. We are so, so lucky.
As far as I know, it’s not within our control to determine where we are born… 😉
Then I was struck by the fact that I was thinking these things when financially, things have never been less certain. Strangely, I am not overwhelmed by it at the moment. It’s certainly not peachy keen. (Like that great sweet tea with peach I brewed up tonight!!) It’s very uncertain. But, knowing God will always take care of us… we’re ok with it.
OK enough to be blown away with how amazingly great we have it.
So, perhaps just a touch of perspective for me. And as I post it here, perhaps it is also that for you.
As a “foreigner” in this land I can definitely appreciate your perspective on this. No matter how tight things get, how small my house may seem to me, how old my car may feel, it is ALL much better than what I grew up with. It is ALL a little unreal to me at times…as I catch myself thinking “WOW, I LIVE HERE!!!” 🙂
