Do you ever have days where you look around the house and think I would love to replace this and that and oh if I had more money I would get one of these days? I know it is very silly for me to WANT instead I should be thankful for all the things I do have. I am very thankful! God has blessed me so much and I am so grateful!
For instance it would be kinda fun to replace my cheap shower curtain with a nice elegant shower curtain. Then I think about it more and with 2 kids what purpose would I have to needing an elegant shower curtain especially when I live in an apartment. LOL
Another thing I love buying is comforter sets. I love getting into bed with fresh sheets. I would love to buy a yellow comforter set or even some faux leather pillows, but then I am reminded that my husband sweats while he sleeps and my fun yellow comforter and sheets would soon be discolored from sweat stains. I love you dear and your sweaty spells. LOL, I guess we will stick with our brown sheets. :)
Do you ever have to sit back and rethink your motives. I am very thankful for the things I have and there is a huge difference between a want and a need. I am going to start teaching my daughter more about wants and needs but first I had to assess myself and I realized I fall into the want want want attitude. So I am changing to a grateful and happy attitude and praise God for the many blessings he gives me daily! :) Who knows someone might just be led to bless us with one of those many things that I think I need even though I am blessed with a perfectly good one now. :)
Thank-you Jesus for providing for all of my needs! Help me to not be selfish in my wants but to have a heart of thanksgiving to you!
