I have been spending a lot of time thinking about what it was like when I was really poor, and what I'm thankful for. I really wasn't unhappy being poor either, and life was sure a lot simpler than it is now. There are a few things though I'm grateful I don't have to do anymore.
I'm thankful I don't have to go to the dump anymore to get rid of my trash.
I'm thankful I don't have to go to the laundromat
I'm thankful I have more than one channel to watch on tv
I'm thankful for central air and heating and not just a woodstove.
I'm thankful I don't have to ride the bus.
I'm thankful I don't have to buy clothes at goodwill or yardsales unless I want to.
I'm thankful I don't have to buy my toiletries at the swapmeet.
I'm thankful I have mail delivery at my house.
I'm thankful I have a stove and not just a hotplate and a toaster oven.
I haven't been working much lately, but I do have a lot to be thankful for. God has always taken care of my needs, and I know he will continue to do so.
