As I sit here in my chair with my laptop. I reflect on my situation and am thankful for Gods grace and blessings, a house, a roof over my head, a car, no two cars and a motorcycle, four tv’s, two dvd players, a bed to sleep in and a second bed that company can sleep in. Am I rich, that depends on the standards you use. Here in America and many other 1st world countries I am and am not, depending on where your comparison is made. But when your comparison takes place in other parts of the world it would be like royalty. Three meals a day with snacks, where people around the world have rice once a day if they are lucky. Where children need and sometimes get help to just eat to be healthy.
Have I Had more, yes, am I happy where I am now, yes. As Paul says in Philippians 4:12,13 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
But really do I know what Paul and others around the world know as low? I think not, what I know is different levels of abound. So I thank God all the time for taking care of me and my wife and pray that others would know the same. So as I sit in my chair I am thankful today as in everyday for the grace of God and the blessings in my life.
