Nothing
Saturday Hazel and I were heading downtown with the kids to go to the childrens museum and do our part to be part of the "art prize" scene. Things have been kind of tight in our budget lately and this kind of raises the stress level in our marriage. We were talking about some things we would like to do before the end of the year and after a few minutes she looks at me and says "how can we do this we have nothing". I can of took it like a left punch to chin and just drove without any comment. As we headed downtown I exited on wealthy street and took a left down division near oakes. This is a section of town where the homeless people hang out and wait for the soup kitchen to open. I pulled over to the side of the road and looked at Hazel and said. "This is what having nothing is" It was kind of rude, but I just felt it was a message I wanted to make.

I remember one time after we sold our house on Cobb Lake... I was complaining about the house we were renting. Suddenly I stopped... it was like God reached down and smacked me upside the head. We had a house, we had clothes, we had two cars, we had enough food to make us fat, we had SOOO much! Okay Lord, I get it.
ReplyDeleteBut surely my complaints were justified when we lived in the shack?! haha!!! I mean, c'mon!!! it used to be a chicken coop!! Okay Lord... I still get it. Thanking Him for all of our blessings.
