Today my husband, who is a Woot diehard, saw the sale of the day--an HD projector with free 76" screen. I teased, terrible I know, "We should have purchased the Woot with our extra money," I emailed him. "Too bad our transmission went out." My husband was not enthused.
Why do we fight our wants so? Everyday I think about the things I don't have. The new Dyson vacuum that would clean my carpets 50x better than my old Panasonic. Or new clothes that look in-style and not frumpy and gross. And extra money to eat out so I wouldn't have to cook every day and every night, not that I mind. Then I received a letter in the mail from World Vision asking for support to fight the hunger crisis in Africa. Gulp. I guess my life isn't that bad after all.
Sorry, God, for being so ungrateful. I have all I could ever need and most of what I want. Thanks to Your generosity, I'll keep fighting my wants.
