complacent... and not liking it..

0 comments | Thursday, December 02, 2004

I am so happy with my job, with my wife and my kids...

but i can't help feeling a bit complacent...

i see how MUCH i have... i know, we're hurting a bit financially, the hour drive to work everyday on top of other expenses is killer.. and another little problem is going to leve us a bit strapped this month..

but i have a computer.. i have a home... i have plenty of clothes, some of them new... i have a car that runs... i have a few pairs of shoes... i have a television, a dvd player...

and more than that, i have dinner every night with my family....


There are people in this world who don't have cars, or computers, or enough clothes or shoes......

I personally know people who don't have a job, or a working car, or families to eat dinner with.


I am so tired of taking these things for granted. I'm so sick of running around feeling sorry for myself because I don't have Y or X, when I have every other variable I could ever need.


Spiritually, I have a Bible. In fact, I have dozens of them, and internet access to any version of the Bible I could imagine... and I have gotten to where I hardly ever read it.

there are people in this world who would sell everything they own just for ONE PAGE of a Bible in their own language.



I want to be grateful.... not complacent.
