Day 13
Barbie's Whip (car)
Barbie's Whip (car)
When I was little I wanted a Barbie car so bad. One of my little kid desires that went unfulfilled, because probably it was deemed too costly, buying the car just could not be justified. So I had to settle for old shoe boxes to get Barbie and Ken (sometimes Michael Jackson) from point a to point b. Their crib was a fortress of the large pillows from a big brown couch we used to have. I still can't believe I never got that car, the injustice! I even found one somewhere and brought it home and played with it for a while. Although I got the Easy Bake Oven I asked for, it probably cost the same amount as the car. I know my Cabbage Patch Kids cost more and I had 3 of them, we even paid postage to get their official birth certificates. (Hear Don King say "Only in America!") Nevertheless, I forgive all who played a roll in this great injustice in my childhood! ๐๐๐๐๐๐ญ๐ญ
I said all of that to say this, sometimes we don't realize how good we have it, because we're focused on what we don't have. Especially us Americans (those of the Western World), our poorest citizens would be considered upper middle class in most nations. Most people of the world live on less than a dollar a day, charging all our devices would consume that amount. Please do not limit this to material wealth, that would truly be an injustice. We are rich in many things, health, love, etc. One of my favorite blessings is a good conversation with a loved one.
I am grateful for all my possessions (not just material) and I don't apologize for any of them because God gave them to me.
“The blessing of the LORD brings [true] riches, And He adds no sorrow to it [for it comes as a blessing from God].”
