This morning as I was putting on my socks, I suddenly had the following thought--I'd glad I have socks to put on my feet. Then I thought about the people affected by the hurricanes this year and the grass fires that we are having here in Texas that has destroyed homes and killed five people. I started thinking about others things I'm blessed to have. The following list is not complete; I could go on and on.
- Shoes to wear and not just one pair.
- A warm blanket to put over me at night.
- A coat to wear in the winter.
- A house with heat and air-conditioning, hot water, and a bathroom.
- A washing machine and dryer and other applicances that make my life easier.
- A chair-and-a-half to sit in while I watch TV.
- Lights so I can read at night.
#4 - I have physical comforts.
The simple things in life are the best. I miss my house (home) so much. I
miss just sitting on my couch in the evenings and watching tv with my
hubby.
I miss getting up every morning and checking my favorite blogs while
drinking my coffee.
I miss the warmth of my wood burner. I miss practicing my music. I miss my
prayer group. I miss the gym I go to. I miss all the little things.
I am grateful for the simple things. Things that don't cost a fortune and a
feeling money can't buy.
Happy New Year! May God bless you and yours today and always.
