I'm thinking about my own situation when I've been around those less fortunate than me; it does make me appreciate the simpler things again, like a hot shower and flushing toilets. Whatever can teach us contentment, I should welcome! :) Thanks for sharing this story. And I love Icees myself; I'd probably have been the one begging for it. ha.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181661189685090304.post-9766259737985996392014-05-07T21:02:50.742-05:002014-05-07T21:02:50.742-05:00This is such wisdom!This is such wisdom!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455698547207302964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-181661189685090304.post-82770532275786881582014-05-07T13:43:30.775-05:002014-05-07T13:43:30.775-05:00Kath, this is timely for me. We are getting ready ...Kath, this is timely for me. We are getting ready to move from a 3200 ft. home to a two-bedroom, one bath 850 ft. apartment for the next year. We will learn to live simply and frugally as we pay rent and a mortgage with 1/3 less income. Maybe we will learn some lessons on gratitude as well, myself included.

I imagine it runs rampant in all of us. I noticed the part about 'expectations'--when I expect nothing and get SOMEthing, boy am I grateful to God. Funny, His economy is so backwards--but it works!Jody Lee Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16017263035298663701noreply@blogger.com
