Abundance

I read that if you own more than two pairs of shoes, can eat six straight meals, and have a change of underwear you are one of the richest 5% of the world. This is so sobering.

I am so grateful that we are blessed to live a comfortable life, we have two cars that are reliable, warm clothing, plenty of food, shoes and a (somewhat*) warm home to sleep in.

I'm grateful I have warm clothing to wear to your [never warm] home. Oh and I'm grateful for Macy's cute face--it just made my day!

We have so much abundance that I am going to be spending my week going through everything and taking it to the DI trailer at our church.

Daniel is worse than Emelda Marcos. I have shoes but wear the same 4 pair. 3 of them are the Dansko sandals we all own.

I am always overwhelmed by the needs of those in our own backyard, not to mention the needs of those around the world.
