perspective

I have been reminded lately, in many ways, of how much I have. God has blessed me with far more than I need. In the community that I live in, it's easy to feel like I don't have much ... but it's good to be reminded that I am one of the wealthy of the world and that God has given me so much beyond the financial ... wonderful family & friends, health, ... .
After hearing someone speak in church about his trip to Africa, I searched out this photo that I took in Guatemala. I used to keep it on my refrigerator ... and now it's back there again. It's a good visual reminder when I start thinking (or complaining), "Why don't I have ... ."

Thanks! I think we all need a reminder now and then. A good kick in the head works, too =)

I appreciate the reminder! It is easy in our culture to think about what we don't have instead of what we do!
