One of the hardest parts of Christmas is watching the wealthy of our city roll around in their plenty, and though I have what is sufficient for my needs and maybe a little more, I find myself feeling jealous of them for their expensive gift-giving, their opulently decorated homes, their bragging about what sunny spot they will run to when winter really hits here. One of the most sensible thing Joyce Myers ever said was that God wants us to be grateful and joyful about every good thing. When we aren't, He isn't inclined to bless us with anything else, since we never seem to be satisfied with what we already have. It's something I need to be reminded of from time to time. Really good post.

Her home is what she can afford and she does the best she can. It's not from sitting on her behind, that woman works non stop to keep her head above water. It makes me very sad to know this exists for so many right in the community where we live.Joy Tiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04183952085695405635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-48142341245019207522011-11-23T08:10:02.595-06:002011-11-23T08:10:02.595-06:00Well said.

Yesterday on the local news a woman in Texas County killed her son and took her own life because of financial trouble.<br />I can't believe that in this country it could get that bad for someone that they would take that road! There may have been other issues but I thought about how many people this year don't have shelter, food or work of any kind....shouldn't happen in this country! Yes, we should be thankful for what we have and fight for reform that will help those less fortunate.<br /><br />I hope I didn't bring anyone down but I feel so deeply for our poor.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466688981552322075.post-12206646897630550872011-11-23T07:01:01.753-06:002011-11-23T07:01:01.753-06:00I just read this on another blog, "Gratitude ...I just read this on another blog, "Gratitude turns what we have into enough."
