Thank you all for your comments! It’s encouraging to see that others want something different than the thankless, consumer culture that is around us.

I agree and we don’t even have to go as far as another country. There are many places in the US where people live like 3rd world countries. I wish everyone would make more of an effort to help the people in their own backyard.

Well said, thank you. Now how to instill that into our kids is the next question!

I totally agree with your message today. After my first husband was killed in an auto accident all I wanted to do was buy “stuff”. I was trying to get rid of the emptiness by spending. I wasted so much money and I so regret it. I learned my lesson the hard way. It doesn’t happen very often but when I start wanting more I say a prayer that I will be content with what I have been BLESSED with.

Thanks for the reminder Laryssa. One of the reasons why I scan my Southern Living Magazine and then look around my home and say, “You might not be right out of a magazine, but you are my HOME and I am thankful.” Thank God for resources to make our homes and lives cozy and beautiful and then the self-discipline to truly enjoy it and not constantly be searching for more. I’m also reminded when I look around our home of how many of the things I treasure here were given to me – from God I received my precious husband and the very gift of eternal life. From mom, family and friends I can start naming the curtains, a blanket, a picture frame, a beautiful piece of artwork… LOL Yes, great gain is truly found in contentment. Love you.
