I love going out with my friends. tonight we had an outing with a group of friends of mine. it's so good for my soul to re-connect with friends. we were designed to live in community. being american causes me to realize that even more. we are one of the loneliest countries on earth. i wonder why we are thought of as less than human if we want to live with roommates, share all our stuff, live in a little place, walk to where we're going? why does having more, bigger, better mean that we have accomplished something? i don't think it does. all that proves is that we are not content enough with what we already have. perhaps it even demonstrates that we are ungrateful for what we've been given. i don't want to be ungrateful. i desire to be a person who lives with a grateful heart... yet living here in the 'States sure does challenge those feelings.
so of the luxuries which I love:
hot water
cell phones
fresh produce at the grocer
flowers
clean water
acceptance at a good church
friends
a warm home
money to pay the bills
a good husband
healthy kids
good doctors
ability to read, to learn, to study, to comprehend, to relate, to interact, to love and receive love, to write, to speak, to be...
